POWER CORD, 2-WIRE POLARIZED CORD
Household Models: SYME, SYMENT, SYMST, SYMDL,
SYMPBP, SYM, SYMUSA, SYMCLNT,
SYMCL, SYMS, SYMD, SYMPNT &
SYMP
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.
Polarization Instructions
Grounding Instructions
Commercial Models: SYMCNT, SYMC & SYMCBP
This vacuum cleaner 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 vacuum cleaner 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.
This vacuum cleaner is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a ground plug
(see illustration). Make sure the vacuum is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this vacuum.

WARNING – Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in the 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 vacuum – if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

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

is being attached. Make sure that the
switch on the handle is positioned
toward the front of the vacuum cleaner.
