provided to reduce risks resulting

from becoming entangled in or

tripping over a longer cord.

2. Longer extension cords are available

and may be used if care is exercised

in their use.

3. If a long extension cord is used,

the marked electrical rating of thea.

(detachable power supply cord or)

extension cord should be at least as

great as the electrical rating of the

tool,

if the tool is of the grounded type,b.

the extension cord should be a

grounding type 3-wire cord, and

the longer cord should be arrangedc.

so that it will not drape over the

counter top or tabletop where it can

be pulled on by children or tripped
