This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and 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.
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. A temporary adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated
When using the appliance at a distance where an extension cord becomes necessary, a 3-conductor
grounding cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power and
overheating. Use the table below to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To determine ampere rating
of your vacuum, refer to nameplate located on rear of motor cover. Before using appliance, inspect
power cord for loose or exposed wires and damaged insulation. Make any needed repairs or
replacements before using your appliance. Use only three-wire outdoor extension cords which have
three-prong grounding-type plugs and three-pole receptacles which accept the extension cord's
plug. When vacuuming liquids, be sure the extension cord connection does not come in contact with
the liquid.

asbestos, arsenic, barium, beryllium, lead, pesticides or other health endangering materials.
Specially designed units are available for these purposes.
18. Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust without cartridge filter and collection
filter bag in place. These are very fine particles that may pass through the foam and affect the
performance of the motor or be exhausted back into the air. Additional collection filter bags are
available.
19. Do not leave the cord lying on the floor once you have finished the cleaning job. It can become
a tripping hazard.
20. Use special care when emptying heavily loaded tanks.
21. To avoid spontaneous combustion, empty tank after each use.
22. The operation of a utility vac can result in foreign objects being blown into eyes, which can
result in eye damage. Always wear safety goggles when operating vacuum.
23. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not use vacuum cleaner
when you are tired, distracted or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication causing
diminished control.
24. WARNING! Do NOT use this vacuum cleaner to vacuum lead paint debris because this may
disperse fine lead particles into the air. This vacuum cleaner is not intended for use under EPA
Regulation 40 CFR Part 745 for lead paint material cleanup.
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.
IN CANADA, THE USE OF A TEMPORARY ADAPTOR IS NOT PERMITTED BY THE CANADIAN
ELECTRICAL CODE. Make sure that the appliance is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this appliance.
NOTE: STATIC SHOCKS ARE COMMON
IN DRY AREAS OR WHEN THE RELATIVE
HUMIDITY OF THE AIR IS LOW. THIS
IS ONLY TEMPORARY AND DOES NOT
AFFECT THE USE OF THE APPLIANCE.
TO REDUCE THE FREQUENCY OF STATIC
SHOCKS IN YOUR HOME, THE BEST
REMEDY IS TO ADD MOISTURE TO THE
AIR WITH A CONSOLE OR INSTALLED
HUMIDIFIER.
