Because of
potentialsafety
hazards under
certain
conditions,
we strongly
recommend
against the use
of an adapter
plug. However,
if you still elect
to use an
TEMPORARYMETHOD
adapter,where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded
two-prong wa]]receptacle by the use of a UL listed
adapter (Fig. 2) which is available at most local
hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adaptermust be aligned with the
lager s]ot ill [he wall
receptacleto provide proper
polarity in [heconnection of the power cord.
Caution:Attachingthe adaptergroundterminal to
the wall receptaclecover screw cloesnotground the
applianceunlessthe cover screw is metal, and not
insulated,and the wall receptacle is groundedthrough
thehouse wiring. Youshouldhave thecircuit checked
by a qualifiedelectrician to make surethereceptacle
is properly grounded.
When disconnectingthepower cord from the adapter,
alwayshold the adapterwith one ha~t. If this is not
done,the adapter ground terminal is verylikely to
break with repeated use. Shouldthis happen,DO
NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has ,
againbeen established.

Do not use an adapter p~ugin these situations
because frequent disconnectionof the power cord
places undue strain on the adapter and leads to
eventualfailure of the adapter ground terminal. You
shouldhave the two-prong wall receptacle replaced
with a three-prong (grounding)receptacle by a
qualified electrician before using the appliance.
