the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord
should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
