IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS BOOK BEFORE USING THIS MACHINE!
If you do not understand, ask your supervisor.
WARNING : To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
1.
DO NOT USE THIS VACUUM FOR PICK UP OF WET DEBRIS.
2.
You must be trained to operate this machine. This machine is to be operated for its intended use only.
3.
Do not operate this machine unless it is completely assembled.
4.
Keep the machine surface dry. Do not subject to rain. Store the machine in a dry building area. Clean the machine with a dry cloth only.
5.
Machines can cause an explosion when near flammable materials and vapors. Do not use or store this machine with or near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammable materials. Do not use flammables to clean this machine.
6.
Maintenance and repairs must be done by a qualified or authorized person.
7.
If the machine is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
8.
Always use a three-wire electrical system connected to the electrical ground. For maximum protection against electrical shock, use a circuit that is protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter. Consult your electrical contractor.
9.
To prevent electric shock, always remove the electrical plug from the electrical outlet before doing any repairs or maintenance and when leaving the machine unattended.
10. Do not pull cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not use with damaged cord or plug.
11. Keep the electrical parts of the machine dry.
12. Make sure all labels, decals, warnings, cautions and instructions are fastened to the machine.
Grounding Instructions
This machine 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 machine 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 machine - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This machine is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like the plug illustrated in figure A. A temporary adapter that looks like the adapter illustrated in figures B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in figure B if a properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (figure A) 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
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only three-wire 14/3 or larger gauge approved extension cords that have three-prong grounding type plugs and three-pole receptacles that accept the appliance’s plug. Replace or repair any damaged cords or plugs.
When servicing, refer to authorized person only. Use only identical replacement parts.
NOTE: Do not use adapters shown in figures B & C in Canada
