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.

THE OUTLET, HAVE A PROPER OUTLET INSTALLED BY A QUALI-
FIED ELECTRICIAN.
When using the appliance at a distance where an extension cord becomes necessary, a 3-con-
ductor grounding cord of adequate size must be used for safety, and to prevent loss of power
and overheating. Use the table below to determine A.W.G. wire size required. To determine

18. Do not pick up soot, cement, plaster or drywall dust without cartridge filter and collection
filter bag in place. These are very fine particles that may pass through the foam and affect
the performance of the motor or be exhausted back into the air. Additional collection filter
bags are available.

become a tripping hazard.
20. Use special care when emptying heavily loaded tanks.

This appliance is for use on
a nominal 120-volt circuit,
and has a grounded plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in
sketch A. A temporary adapter
that looks like the adapter illus-
trated in sketches B and C may
be used to connect this plug to
a 2-pole receptacle as shown in
sketch B if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The tem-
porary adapter should be used
only until a properly grounded outlet (sketch 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.
