Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where
local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter which is available
at most local hardware stores (Fig. 2). The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection
of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter. ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw
does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and
the wall receptacle Is grounded through the house wiring. The customer should have the
circuit checked by a q;alified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
