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 a grounded 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.
