contact your electrician to replace your obsolete 
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the 
grounded plug.

 

Power Cord Protection

 

 - Power supply 

cords should be routed so that they are not 
likely to be walked on or pinched by other 

equipment items. Pay particular attention to cords at 
plugs, convenience receptacles, and at the point 
where they enter and exit the equipment.

 

Object or Liquid Entry

 

 - Never spill liquids 

or insert objects of any kind through 
openings in the equipment. Such actions
