This unit plug will only fit into a polarized extension cord
in one orientation. If the plug does not fully fit 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 only fit into a
polarized wall outlet in a specific orientation. 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 unit
plug, extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug
in any way.
1. Secure the extension cord to the motor housing as
shown (Fig. 9). This prevents accidental removal of
the electrical cord.
