4Polarization/Grounding—This product is equipped with either a polarized, non-polarized, or a grounding type power cord plug. If equipped with the non- polarized type (two blades of identical size), the following does not apply.

• A polarized power plug (two blades, one

wider than the other) will fit into a power

receptacle only one way. This is a safety

feature. Do not defeat it. If you are unable to

insert the plug fully, try reversing it, or have

an electrician change the receptacle. If you

need an extension cord, use only a polarized extension

cord.

A grounding type power plug (two blades and a round pin) will fit only into a grounding type

receptacle with matching openings. This is

safety feature. Do not defeat it. You may need

an electrician to install a grounding type receptacle. If you need an extension cord, use

only a grounding type extension cord.

5Power Sources—This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the product's marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

6Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can result

in a risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a

shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its

appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.

7Power-Cord Protection—Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords where they are attached to plugs, convenience receptacles and at the point where they exit from the product.
