DOUBLE INSULATED
This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use
only identical replacement parts.
Servicing for Double Insulated Appliances
A double insulated appliance is marked with
one or more of the following: the words
"Double Insulation" or "Double Insulated"
or the Double Insulation symbol. In a double insulated
appliance, two systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided
on a double insulated appliance, nor should a means
for grounding be added to the appliance. Servicing a
double insulated appliance requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system, and should be done only by
qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a
double insulated appliance must be identical to the
parts they replace.
POLARIZATION
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (one blade is wider then the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
EXTENSION
CORDS
When using the appliance at a distance where an
extension cord becomes necessary, a 2-conductor
cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to
prevent loss of power and overheating. Use TABLE A
to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To determine
ampere rating of your vacuum, refer to nameplate
located on motor housing.
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 two-wire outdoor extension cords,
which have two-prong non-grounding-type plugs and
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.
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.
