WA~ING—Improper use of the

grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wdl receptacle is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the Imger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

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 two-prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.
