adapter as shown and always connect the grounding lug to
known ground.
It is recommended that you have a qualified electrician
replace the TWO prong outlet with a properly grounded

A temporary adapter as shown below is available for
connecting plugsto 2-prong receptacles. The green ground-
ing lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as to a properly grounded outlet
box,
A temporary adapter as illustrated is available for connecting
plugs to 2-prong receptacles. The temporary adapter should
be used only until a properly grounded outlet can be
installed by a qualified electrician.
NOTE: The adapter illustrated is for use only if you already
have a properly grounded 2-prong receptacle.
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of
power. To keep this to a minimum and to prevent over-
heating and motor burn-out; use the table below to deter-
mine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.) extension cord. Use
only 3 wire extension cords which have 3-prong grounding
