If the power-supply cord is a grounding-type-3-wire cord with a grounding prong on the plug,
the extension cord should also be a grounding-type-3-wire cord.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
The appliance is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding-type plug to fit
the proper grounding-type receptacle. The appliance has a plug that looks like Figure A. An
adaptor, as shown in Figure B, should be used for connecting a 3-prong grounding plug to a
2-ground receptacle. The grounding tab, which extends from the adaptor, must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box as shown in
Figure C, using a metal screw.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found,
this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undo stress on
the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
