METHOD
Because of potential safi:ty hazards under
certain ( onditions,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 he made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall re{ eptacle hy the
use of a UL listed adaptor which is available
at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in the wall
re(epta(le to provide proper polarity in the
commction of flae 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 b grounded through the
house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked hy
a qualified electrician to make sure the
re(epta(le is properly ga-ounded.
When disconne( ring the power cord from
the adapter, always hold the adapter wifla
one hand. If this is not done, the adapter
ground tma_ninal is vely 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 dis_ onnection
of the power cord places undue strain on
the adapter and leads to eventual failure of
the adapter ground tma'ninal. You should
have the two-prongwall receptacle
replaced with a three-prong (grounding)
receptacle hy a qualified electrician before
using the appliance.
