FORPERsONALSAFETY,THIS APpLiANCE
MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. The
powercord of this applianceis equipped with
a three-prong (grounding) plug"which mates
with a standardthree-prong (grounding) wall
receptacle (Fig. 1) to minimize the possibility
of. electric shpck hazard from this appliance.
The customershould havethe wall receptacle
and circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is properly
grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle
is
encountered, it is the personal responsi-
bility and obligation of the customerto haveit
replaced with a properly grounded three-
prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONGFROMTHE POWERCORD.
A. IUSAGE S!TUA'I'IONS WHERE APPLl-
ANCE'S POWER CORD WILL BE DIS-
CONNECTED INFREQUENTLY
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
againstthe use of an adapter plug. However,
if you still elect to use an adapter,where local
codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTION
may be made to a properly grounded two-
prong wall receptacleby the useof a UL listed
adapter which is available at most local hard-
ware 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 ter-
minalto the wall receptaclecover-screwdoes
not ground the appliance unless the cover
screw is metal,and not insulated,and the wa14
receptacle is" groun'ded through the house
wiring, The customer should havethe circuit
checked by a qualified" electrician to make
sure the receptacleis properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord frpm the
adapter, always hold the adapter with one
hand. If this is not done, the ada@erground
'---
terminal is very likely to break with repeated
-
use. Should this happen, ,DONOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground has again
been established.
B. USAGE SITUATiOh@> WHERE APPLI-
'
ANCE'S POWER CORD WILL BE DIS-
CONNECTED FREQUENTLY.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because disconnecting of the power cord
places undue strain on the adapter and leads
to eventual failure of the adapter ground ter-
minal. The customer should have the two-
prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-
prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using the appliance.
