A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in
their use. If an extension cord is used, 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. If the appliance is of the grounded type,
the extension cord should be of the grounding-type 3-wire cord. The extension
cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table
top, where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
