Grounding Instructions
This vacuum cleaner must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This vacuum cleaner is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
This vacuum cleaner is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a ground plug
(see illustration). Make sure that the vacuum is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this vacuum.

Check with a qualified electrician or
service person if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly

provided with the vacuum – if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
