28.To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. This unit plug will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord requires the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into a polarized wall outlet only one way.

The table below shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and amperage rating.
