2. Replace paper bag frequently.
3. Clean or replace exhaust filter as necessary.
Thermal Protector
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a self-resetting
thermal protector to protect it from overheating.
When the thermal protector activates, the vacuum
cleaner’s motor will stop running. The motor will
restart after cooling down. To prevent repeated
tripping of the thermal protector, clear all restrictions
out of hose, wand and tools. Replace the paper bag,
and clean or replace the exhaust filter if necessary.
Clear all restrictions to exhaust air flow.
Electrical Grounding
This appliance must be grounded. Should the unit
malfunction, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for the electric current. This reduces the
risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with
a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor,
and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into
an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
HAZARD Improper connection
of the equipment-grounding
conductor can result in a risk of
electrical shock. Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you are
unsure if an outlet is properly grounded.
DO NOT modify the plug provided with the
appliance to fit an outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
FIRE OR ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARD
Use only a 16 gauge or higher
3-wire SJT extension cord with
this vacuum cleaner. Using a
cord of different type or AWG
may result in increased risk of fire or
electrical shock.
WARNING
WARNING
This product contains chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer,
