Matching NEMA male plugs must always be used. Electric shock could result.
C. Always use electrical cords in good condition. Worn, bare, frayed or damaged cords can cause electric shock.
D. Always use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in damp or highly electrical conductive areas and on
construction job sites to prevent electric shock.
