• Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as
a handle, close a door on the cord, or pull
cord around sharp edges or corners. Do

POWER CORD, 2-WIRE POLARIZED CORD
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product is
equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This
is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
