ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS

A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming 
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or 
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer 
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, and 

2)  The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3)  The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop 

or  tabletop  where  it  can  be  tripped  over,  snagged,  or  pulled  on  unintentionally 
(especially by children).

This appliance must be grounded while in use.

CAUTION:  To  ensure  continued  protection  against  risk  of  electric  shock,  connect  to 
properly ground outlets only.

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-wire receptacle. The grounding 
tab, which extends from the adaptor, must be connected to a permanent ground such 
as a properly grounded receptacle as shown in Figure C, using a metal screw.
