blade is wider than the other) and will re-
quire the use of a polarized extension
cord. The appliance plug will f it into a po-
larized extension cor d only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the exten-
sion cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still
does not f it ,obt ai n a correct p ol arized e x-
