BEFORE USE
Have the wall outlet and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
Where a standard two-prong
wall outlet is encountered, it is
your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with
a properly grounded three-prong
wall outlet.

TEMPORARY METHOD
The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot in
the
til
outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
~UTfON:
Attaching an
adapter
ground terminal to wall outlet cover
screw does not ground appliance
unless cover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and wall outlet is
groundd
through house wiring. You
should have circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properly grounded.
When disconnecting
the power
cord
from the adapter, always
hold the adapter with one hand. If
this is not done, the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with
repeated use.

recommended
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord. However,.
if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be a
UL listed 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord having
a grounding type plug and outlet
and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and
120
volts.
Such extension cords are
obtainable through your local
