SAFETY WARNINgS AND INSTRUCTIONS: POLARIZED PLUgS

CAUTION:
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
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.

SAFETY WARNINgS AND INSTRUCTIONS: EXTENSION CORDS

WARNINg:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an extension cord
intended for outdoor use, such as an extension cord of cord type SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A,
STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A. or SJTOW-A.
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.
