If an extension cord is going to be used, use only
extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These
extension cords are identified by marking "Acceptable
for use with outdoor appliance; store indoors while not
in use". Use only extension cord having an electrical
rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use
damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before
using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension
cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep
cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always disconnect
extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting
the product from the extension cord.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has
a polarized plug (i.e. one blade is wider than the other).
The appliance plug will fit into a polarized outlet only
one way.
If the appliance plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, make sure
that you are using the correct polarized wall outlet. If the
plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper wall outlet. Do not modify the
appliance plug, power cord receptacle, or power cord
plug in any way.
