the other) and will require the use of a polarized
extension cord. The 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
the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle,
or extension cord plug in any way.
 Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to
carry the product or to disconnect the plug from
