4Polarization/Grounding—This product is equipped with either a polarized, non-polarized, or a grounding type power cord plug. If equipped with the non-polariz-ed 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 a 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-CordProtection—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.
