SAFETY WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3
wire extension cord. Polarized connections will fit together only
one way. Make sure that the receptacle end of the extension
cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the plug does not
fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, obtain a suitable extension cord. If the extension cord
does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change the tool plug or
extension cord in any way.
