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 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.
