SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug — one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.

ELECTRICAL CORD

The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) -Listed or Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or NOM-approved extension cord rated no less than 15-amperes and 120 volts. When using an extension cord, do not let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it.
