POWER CORD, 2-WIRE POLARIZED CORD

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product is equipped with a polarized alternating

current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the

power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into

the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician

to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Attaching The Handle To The Vacuum

The vacuum cleaner and the handle are

packed separately.

• After first removing the handle screw,

position the handle behind the vacuum

cleaner and level with the top of the unit.

Hold the power cord down and away

from the vacuum while the handle is being

attached.

• On the bottom of the handle are two

“T-shaped” rails that slide forward onto

two guides located on the top of the

vacuum cleaner. Line up the handle so

that the “T” rails will slide into the guides

and push the handle forward (Fig. 1).

• Insert the handle screw and tighten

securely (Fig. 2).

• Turn the upper cord storage hook to

the upright position and wind the power

cord around the cord storage hooks

when storing the vacuum cleaner (Fig. 3).
