having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded. (Fig. 1)
Use of Adapter Plugs
Usage situations where appliance's power
cord will be disconnected infrequently.
Because of
potential safety
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 TEMPOHY CONNE~ION may
be made to a properly grounded two-prong wtil
receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter @ig. 2)
which is available at most lod hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be ali~ed with the
larger siot in the wall receptacle to provi~e proper
polarity in the mnnection of the power cord.
Use of Extension Cords
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the
risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a long cord or extension cord is used—
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or
extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.

always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not
done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeated use. Should this happen,
DO NOT USE the applian~ until a proper ground
has again been established.
Usage situations where apptiance's power
cord will be disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because frequent disconnection of the power cord
places undue strain on the adapter and leads to
eventual failure of the adapter ground terrnind.
You should have the two-prong wall receptacle
replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle
by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
