SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUGS

 

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade

is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension cord. The appliance plug will fit

into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse

the plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension

cord will require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one

way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact

a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord

receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
