(Figure 10). Use the following
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this machine
has a polarized plug (unique blade shapes and
widths). Use only a polarized plug and socket that is
compliant with NEMA specifications and an extension
cord that is UL-listed (CSA certified in Canada) and
recommended for outdoor use. A polarized plug will fit
in a polarized cord only 1 way. If the plug does not fit
fully into the cord, turn the cord. If it still does not fit,
purchase an appropriate extension cord. If you have a
polarized extension cord and the extension cord plug
does not fit fully into the wall receptacle, turn the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the machine
plug or extension-cord plug in any way.
Note:
The machine uses a twist-locking plug.
