Instructions for the power supply cord
-A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is
to 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 used if care is exercised in their use.
-If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is
used.
1 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.
2 If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord
should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
