When using electrical
appliances, basic safety precautions,
including the following, should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, personal injury and material damage.
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.
An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Use the
following table to determine the extension
cord gauge as a function of length.
