•Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation 
eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
