SAFETY

GROUNDING

STOP

WARNING! This appliance 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 machine 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.

STOP

WARNING! 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.

• Read and understand all instructions before using this unit.
• This appliance is for use on a nominal 115-volt circuit and has a grounding plug.
• Use this unit only as described in these instructions. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to unit, use only Tornado® recommended accessories.

- This vacuum is intended for commercial use only. It is designed exclusively to pick up dirt, dry debris and dust in an indoor environment and is not constructed for any other use. The pickup of any type of fluid or dangerous/toxic materials is prohibited. Use only recommended accessories.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, do not leave appliance unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before servicing.
