This Vac 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 Vac 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.

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 Vac is for use on a nominal 120 Volt Circuit, and has a
Grounded Plug that looks like the Plug shown.
A Temporary Adapter that looks like the Adapter shown
may be used to connect this Plug to a 2-Pole Receptacle,
as shown. If a properly Grounded Outlet is not
available, the Temporary Adapter should be used only
until a properly Grounded Outlet can be installed by a
Qualified Electrician.
The Green Colored Rigid Ear, Lug or the like extending
from the Adapter must be connected to a Permanent
Ground such as a properly Grounded Outlet Box Cover.
Whenever the Adapter is used, it must be held in place
by a Metal Screw.
NOTE: In Canada, the Use of a Temporary Adapter is Not
Permitted by the Canadian Electrical Code.
