ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electrical
substances may be present. Electrical devices
produce arcs or sparks that can cause explosions.
DO NOT use anywhere that gasoline is dispensed.
WARNING
Read all instructions before using vacuum

manual, and follow all label and marking
instructions found on unit. Failure to do
so may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
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.
• DO NOT use in an enclosed space where
flammable, explosive, or toxic vapors are given
off by oil base paint, paint thinner, certain
mothproofing substances, or in an area where
flammable dust is present.
This product contains chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects, and other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY:
• Indoor use only. Store indoors.
Maintenance
• DO NOT pick up toxic/carcinogenic/hazardous
materials such as chlorine, bleach, drain cleaner,
gasoline, asbestos, pesticides, or lead.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit
and has a grounding attachment plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in the sketch below. Make sure
that the appliance is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. No adaptor
should be used with this appliance.
Proper maintenance of your vaccum cleaner will
assure continued effective cleaning performance.
• DO NOT expose to rain.
• DO NOT pick up any materials that are burning or
• Fully assemble before operating.
• DO NOT use without filters installed.

smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
• During use, keep hose, wands, and other
openings away from your face and body. Keep
hands, feet, hair, loose clothing, and other body
parts away from moving parts.
2. Empty tanks frequently.
• DO NOT leave unattended when plugged in. Unplug

Grounded
outlet box
When working with fine dust such as dry wall dust,
flour, baby powder, etc. ensure HEPA filter is in place
and replaced often.
• DO NOT use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
DO NOT handle vacuum cleaner or plug with
wet hands.
Grounded outlet
Grounding pin
• DO NOT put any object into openings. DO NOT use
with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint,
hair, or anything that may reduce air flow.
Electrical Grounding
• Only plug vacuum cleaner into a properly grounded
outlet. See grounding instructions.
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.
• Only use manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
• Use with caution on stairs.
• DO NOT unplug by pulling on power cord. To unplug
from an outlet, pull by the plug, not the cord.
• DO NOT use with damaged cord or plug.
• Use with caution when vacuuming over area rug
edges and fringe.
• DO NOT pull or carry by cord, use cord as a
handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around
sharp edges or corners. DO NOT run vacuum
cleaner over power cord. Keep cord away from
heated surfaces.
• DO NOT allow to be used as a toy. Close attention
is necessary during use by or around children.
• Always install float before any wet pick-up operation.
• Use handle only to push or pull unit—not to lift.
• DO NOT use with an extension cord.
• Turn on/off switch to “off” before unplugging.
• DO NOT leave power cord lying on floor when not
in use. It can become a tripping hazard
