IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

ADAPTER PLUGS

Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected
infrequently.
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug. However,
if you still elect to use an adapter,
where local codes permit,
a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may
be made to a properly grounded
2-prong wall receptacle by the use of
a UL-listed adapter which is available
at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot
in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection
of the power cord.
to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle 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. Should this happen, DO NOT
USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.
Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected
frequently:
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent
disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter
and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should
have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding)
receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
