No it is not a safe thing to do. Safety wise you will be going backwards instead of forwards. The third pin was added as a safety precaution to return fault currents directly back to the distribution panel. This is turn trips the over current breaker instantaneously and removes the fault from the system.

What is a name that is given to an appliance that doesn't need an earth wire?

It is called Double Insulated because any "hot" wires (= "live" wires in British English) inside the appliance have been made safe by using extra insulation and/or fuses to protect the user from getting a shock if the appliance suffers any damage. That is why it does not need a separate earth or ground wire. Always be sure to switch off the breakers at the main panel before you attempt to do any work on any mains power circuit.

How do you use appliance dolly?

There should be instructions found somewhere on the dolly but if not then here goes. Have two people perform this. Tip the appliance just enough so that you can fit the plate at the bottom of the dolly under the appliance. Make sure that the dolly is on the side of the appliance that will allow it to fit through any doorway. Once the plate on the dolly if fully under the appliance and the dolly is snug against the appliance, hook the strap around the appliance and back into the the ratchet. The strap is very, very important! Ratchet the strap until it holds the dolly tight to the appliance. Here is where some common sense comes into play. Are you strong enough to tip the appliance towards you and balance it on the dolly as you push or pull it where you want it to go? If the answer is no or you are not sure then you need to find someone that can. Many people have been crushed or injured by having a refrigerator fall on them. If you have any doubts, call someone.
