Functional Description; Unpacking And Cleaning; Extension Cords - Black & Decker Fire Storm FS110L Instruction Manual

If the machine is intended for use on a circuit that has an
outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Fig. C, the
machine will have a grounding plug that looks like the
plug illustrated in Fig. C. A temporary adapter, which
looks like the adapter illustrated in Fig. D, may be used to
connect this plug to a matching 2-conductor receptacle
as shown in Fig. D if a properly grounded outlet is not
NOTE: In Canada, the use of a temporary adapter is not permitted by the Canadian Electric Code.
IN ALL CASES, MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE RECEPTACLE IN QUESTION IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.
IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, HAVE A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN CHECK THE RECEPTACLE.

EXTENSION CORDS

EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure
your extension cord is in good
condition and is a 3-wire extension cord which has a
3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle
which will accept the machine's plug. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current of the machine. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Fig. E shows the correct gauge
to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

available. The temporary adapter should be used only
until a properly grounded outlet can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, and
the like, extending from the adapter must be connected
to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded
outlet box. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be
held in place with a metal screw.
