WARNING
POlARIzEd PlUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) As a safety feature, this
plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug
and try again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.
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 extension cord rated no less than 15 amperes. When
using an extension cord, do not let it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could
accidentally trip over it. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet
and appliance connections.
