on a 20 amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall receptacle by the use of a
UL-listed adaptor available at most hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adaptor must be aligned with
the large slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the power cord.
Ensure proper ground and firm
_. connection before use

-ACAUTION:
Attachingthe adaptor ground
terminal to the wallreceptacle cover screw does not
ground the applianceunlessthe screw ismetal,and
notinsulated, a nd the wallreceptacle isgrounded
through the house wiring. T he customer should have
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle isproperly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adaptor, always hold the adaptor with one hand. If
this is not done, the adaptor 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 situation where appliance power cord will be
disconnected frequently.
Do not use an adaptor plug in these situations
because disconnection of the power cord places
undue strain on the adaptor and leads to eventual
failure of the adaptor ground terminal. The customer
should have the 2-prong receptacle replaced with
a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified
electrician before using the appliance.
