Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified elecuician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced _dth a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

USEOF ADAPTER P LUGS ( Adapte_ pl_g_ not permitted in Canada)
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you must use an adapter, where local
(:odes permit, a temporary connection may be made
to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use
ofa UI Aisted adapter available at most lo(al
hardw;He stores.
Tile larger slot in the adapter must be aligned xx_th
the larger slot in tl_e wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the (onnection of the power (ord
When disconnecting the power cord fiom the
adapter, ahvays hold the adapter in pla(e xdth one
hand while pulling the pc_wer cord phlg with the
odmr hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is veU likely to break _dth repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, O0 NOTUSE
