There should be one\nshield installed for use over the wire brush\nand another unit for use over the abrasive\nwheel.\n36. ELECTRICAL HAZARDS - FLEXIBLE CORDS\nDefective flexible cords are a source of electric shock\nas well as being a fire hazard. The braid covering on cords\nis of a more or less combustible nature and may soon become\nfrayed. Maintenance of cords is of the utmost importance.\nFlexible cords should not be used for fixed wiring,\nshould not be spliced and should not be tacked, stapled or\notherwise fastened to walls or woodwork. They should not\nbe tied to or draped over pipes or other supports. It is\nimportant that cords of floor, table, and desk lamps be of\nsufficient length SO that the cord is not suspended above\nfloor level thereby presenting a tripping hazard. Walking\ninto or tripping over flexible cords may not only cause\ndamage to the cord and attachment plug, but may also cause\nirrepairable damage to the lamp or appliance if it falls\nto the floor. The Underwriter's Knot must be used when con-\nnecting flexible cords to attachment plugs.\nThe following is a list, by location, of defective\nflexible cord installations which should be corrected. The\ndefect is indicated in each instance:\nC-6909(\n41"
