METHOD
Because of potcmial salety 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 ma} be made to a properly
grounded lwo-prong wall receptacle by the
use of a U L listed adapter which is available
at most local hard_are stores.
['he lm-ger slot in the adapter IlIUStbe
aligned with the larger slot in the wall
receptacle to provide proper polari U in the
connection of llae power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter
ground terminal 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 b>
a qualified electrician to make sure the
receptacle is properly gq-ounded.
When disconimcfing the power cord fi-om
the adapter, alwa_,s 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 fi-equent disconnection
of the power cord places t]ildtle strain on
the adapter and leads to eventual lhilure of
the adapter ground temfiiml. You should
have the two-prong wall receptacle
replaced with a three-prong (gToundiiN)
receptacle b_, a qualified electrician belore
using the appliance.
