WARNING!
USEOFEXTENSION
CORDS--115-Volt modelsonly
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord.
Howex>t; if you must/lse
an extension cord,
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UiAismd,
14 gauge, 3-wire grounding
b'pe appliance
extension cord having a grounding
type plug
and outlet and flint fl)e electrical rating of rite
cord be 15 amperes (minimum)
and 195 x_lts.

CAUtiON:
DO NOT use an extension cord with any of the
230/208 volt models.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS--115-Voltmodelsonly
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug.
Howex>[; if you must rise an adapte[; where
local codes permit, a temporary connection may
be made to a properly grounded
9-prong wall
outlet by use of a UiAismd adaptor available at
most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in fl_e adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in file wall outlet
to provide proper polarity in the connection
of the power cord.

When disconnecting
file power cord flom the
adapter; alwws hold tile adaptor in place with
