GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of
electrical shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord that has an equipment¬
grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted in to an
appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in
doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded .Do not modify the plug
provided with the appliance - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug
that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A. Atemporary adaptor that looks like
the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-
pole receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not available.
The temporary adaptor should be used only until a properly grounded outlet
(sketch A) can be installed by a qualified electrician, The green colored rigid ear,
lug, or the like extending from the adaptor must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adaptor is
used,it must be held in place by a metal screw.
Note: In Canada, the use of a temporary adaptor is not permitted by the
Canadian Electrical Code.

Important Safeguards
Accident due to misuse can only be prevented by those using the machine. To guard against
injury, basic safety precautions should be observed. Including the following:
Read and follow all safety instructions.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK COULD OCCUR IF USED
OUTDOORS OR ON WET SURFACES.
This vacuum cleaner is designed to be safe when used to perform cleaning functions. Should damage
occur to electrical or mechanical parts. Cleaner should be repaired by ORECK or competent service
station before using in order to avoid further damage to machine or physical injury to user.
Adamaged power cord could cause electrical shock and/orfire. To minimize this possibility
observe the following precautions:
Do not run cleaner over power cord.
Avoid closing doors on power cord. Pulling it around sharp edged
corners or putting objects upon it.
Do not wind cord tighter than is necessary to retain it on the cord hooks.
When disconnecting power cord from electrical outlet, grasp the
plug . Pulling it out by the cord itself can damage cord insulation and
internal connections to plug.
Your vacuum cleaner creates suction and contains a revolving brush. To avoid bodily injury from
suction or moving parts, vacuum cleaner brush should not be placed against, or in close proximity of
loose clothing, jewelry, hair or body surfaces while cleaner is connected to electrical outlet. Cleaner
should not be used to vacuum clothing while it is being worn. Keep children away from machine when
in operation or plugged in.
If used on plush carpet or carpet with thick padding, turn off unit when handle is in upright position.
When using accessory tools, keep floor brush off carpet by keeping handle in locked position with
other hand.
Always plug your cleaner into a standard wall outlet. Use of extension cord or light socket with
inadequate current-carrying capacity could result in electric shock or fire hazard.
Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet before servicing ,such as changing bags or belts, You could
receive bodily injury from moving parts of machine should switch accidentally be turned on.
Disconnect cleaner from electrical outlet before detaching power head.
Do not use your vacuum cleaner in areas where flammable and/or dust is present to avoid possibility
of fire or explosion. Some cleaning fluids can produce such vapors. Areas on which cleaning fluids
have been used should be completely dry and thoroughly aired before being vacuumed.
To avoid fire hazard, do not pick up matches, fire place ashes, or smoking material with cleaner.
Keep your work area well lighted to avoid picking up harmful material (such as liquids, sharp objects,
or burning substances) and avoid tripping accidents.
Use care when operating the cleaner on irregular surfaces such as stairs. Afalling cleaner could
cause bodily injury and /or mechanical damage. Proper storage of machine in an out-of-the way area
immediately after use will also prevent accidents caused by tripping over cleaner.
Exercise strict supervision to prevent injury when using vacuum cleaner near children or when child is
allowed to operate vacuum cleaner. Do not allow children to play with vacuum cleaner and never leave
cleaner plugged in and unattended.
Store your vacuum indoors in a cool, dry area not exposed to the weather to avoid electrical
shock and / or cleaner damage.
