SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
this unit has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other) and will
require the use of a polarized exten-
sion cord. The appliance plug will fit
into a polarized extension cord only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the extension cord, reverse the
plug. Ifthe plug still does not fit, ob-
tain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will
require the use of a polarized wall
outlet. This plug will fit into the polar-
ized wall outlet only one way. If plug
does not fit fully into the wall outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper wall outlet. Do not
change the equipment plug, exten-
sion cord receptacle, or extension
cord plug in any way.
