the other). This equipment must be used with a suitable polarized 2 wire or 3 wire extension
cord. Polarized connections will fit together only one way. Make sure that the receptacle end
of the extension cord has large and small blade slot widths. If the plug does not fit fully into the
extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, obtain a suitable extension cord. If the
extension cord does not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not modify the appliance plug or extension cord in any way.
