'''Safety Note'''


NEVER use a cheater plug or cut the ground plug off an ac power cord.
From the Owners Manual
: Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized  plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wider blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
