Ꮨ DANGER

When using an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord having at least

16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the same or higher electrical rating as

the devise being connected. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of

fire and electric shock. Three prong to two prong adapters should not be used. Use

of three prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock

hazard to the user.
