Because of potential safety

appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall
outlet is grou~~dedthrough house
wiring. You should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet isproperly
grounded.
when dsconneeting the power
cord from the adapter, always hold
the adapter with one hand. If this

Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongiy recommend against the
use of an extension cord. However,
if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord and
that the current carrying rating of
the cord in amperes be equal to or
greater than the branch circuit size
shown on the rating name plate of
the appliance. Such extension cords
are obtainable through your local
service organization.
