polarized plugs

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a
polarized extension cord. The pole saw 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.
