for
your
safety,
we use
a
three-wire
line
with
a
ground-
lt
is not
a
good
idea
to
remove
the
ground
pin
under
any
circumstances.
lf it
is necessary
to
operate
the
amp
with
the old
2
prong
plugs,
a suitable
adapter
should
be used-
Operating
amp
with
the
proper
grounding
receptacle
reduces
hazard
of shock-
