so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with a 3-prong plug. As shown in Figure 3, the adapter must be ground- ed by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate. CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure
it is properly grounded. Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTION
1.A short power-supply cord (or detachable power- supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2.Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3.If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
a.The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance; and
b.The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
