We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards.
For temporary connections, use only a UL-listed adapter, available from most local
hardware stores. To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on
each to avoid damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power
cord as this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.
