IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This machine is only suitable for commercial use, for example in hotels, schools, hospitals, shops and offices other than normal
residential housekeeping purposes.
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury:
•Do not leave the appliance when it is plugged in. Unplug the unit from the outlet when not in use and before servicing.
•To avoid electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
•This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge.
•Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used near children.
•Use only as described in this manual. Use only the manufacturer’s recommended attachments.
•Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working as it should be, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors or dropped into water, return it to a service center.
•Do not pull or carry by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges
or corners. Do not run the appliance over the cord. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
•Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
•Do not handle the plug, cord or appliance with wet hands.
•Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that

120VAC GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. If it should electrically malfunction, grounding provides 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
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER!
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.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1 below. A temporary
adapter illustrated in Figures 2 and 3 may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure 2 if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet (Figure 1) can be installed by a qualified electrician. The
green-colored rigid ear, tab, 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.
Grounding adapters are not approved for use in Canada.
Replace the plug if the grounding pin is damaged or broken.
The Green (or Green/Yellow) wire in the cord is the grounding wire. When replacing a plug, this wire must be attached to the grounding pin only.
Extension cords connected to this machine should be 2.5mm2(12 AWG), three-wire cords with three-prong plugs and outlets. DO NOT use
extension cords more than 15 M (50 ft) long.
WARNING!
• If an extension cord is used, the plug and socket must be of watertight construction.
• Inadequate extension cords can be dangerous.
