This vacuum is equipped with a polarized plug in which one prong is wider than
the other. This is a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock. The plug
will t into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. Montgomery Ward can
not accept any liability for damage or injury resulting from failure to observe these
safety procedures.
