METHOD
Because of potcmial
salety 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
ma} be made to a properly
grounded
lwo-prong wall receptacle
by the
use of a U L listed adapter which is available
at most local hard_are
stores.
['he lm-ger slot in the adapter IlIUSt be
aligned with the larger slot in the wall
receptacle
to provide proper polari U in the
connection
of llae 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.
You should
have the circuit
checked
b>
a qualified
electrician
to make
sure the
receptacle
is properly
gq-ounded.
When
disconimcfing
the power
cord
fi-om
the adapter,
alwa_,s 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 appliance
until a proper
ground
has again
been
established.
Usage situations where appliance's
power cord will be disconnected
frequently.
Do not use an adapter
plug in these
situations
because
fi-equent
disconnection
of the power
cord places
t]ildtle
strain
on
the adapter
and leads
to eventual
lhilure
of

temfiiml.
