POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord)
may be provided to reduce risks 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 long detachable
power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
a. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply
cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance;
b. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord
should be a grounding type 3-wire cord; and
c. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape
over the counter top or table where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
