(Only for grounded appliances):
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provided 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.
(Only for cord-connected grounded appliances, having a rated
current less than 15A and intended for use on a nominal 120-
volt supply circuit):
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has
a grounding attachment plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in figure A. 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.
(Only for all other grounded, cord-connected appliances):
This appliance is rated more than 15 amperes and is for use
on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 volts and is factory-
equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit
connection to a proper electric circuit. 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. If the appliance must be connected for use on a
different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be
made by qualified service personnel.
(Only for double-insulated, cord-connected appliances):
SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
A double insulated appliance is marked with one of the
following: The words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE
INSULATED” or the double insulation symbol (square within a
square).
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 by qualified service
personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated
appliance must be identical to the parts they replace.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
1. This machine is also suitable for commercial use, for
example in hotels, schools, hospitals, factories, shops and
offices for other than normal housekeeping purposes.
2. This machine is not suitable for picking up health
endangering dust, unless special authorised precautions
are complied with.
3. This machine is for dry use only and shall not be used or
stored outdoors in wet conditions. Store indoors between
max. 60 C (degrees centigrade) and min. 0 C (degrees
centigrade).
4. The machine for vacuum dry dust must not be used for
the suction of water or other liquids.
