PROCEDURE 1

GENERAL WARNINGS (CONTINUED) GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug. Some devices are equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use ONLY a three-wire extension cord hav- ing the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected.
