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) and will require the use of a
polarized extension 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. If the plug still does not fit, obtain
a correct polarized extension cord. A polarized extension cord will
require the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the
polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper wall outlet. Do not change

SAFETY WARNINGS AND
INSTRUCTIONS: EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. If the
extension will be used outside, the cord must be suitable for outdoor
work. The letters "WA" on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is
suitable for outdoor use.
