To reduce the risk of electric
shock, the vacuum has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than 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. Do not alter the
plug in any way.

While vacuuming (see fig. 14 + 15)
,
To prevent static electricity your
hand must touch the metal inlay on
the underside of the vacuum hand
piece. Be certain to continuously
touch this inlay when vacuuming fine
dust, flour or sawdust as these
materials are more likely to create a
static discharge. To further prevent
static discharge while vacuuming,
pull the vacuum along by the hose
with one hand while continuing to
hold the handpiece in the other hand.
