Replacement parts.When servicing use
only identical replacement parts.
Polarized appliance connections.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 appliance
plug will fit into a polarized extension
cord only one way. Ifthe 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

i) Extension cord! Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition.When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product
will draw. An undersized extension cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nameplate ampere
rating, if in doubt, use the next heavier
gage.The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.To reduce the risk of
disconnection of appliance cord from the
extension cord during operating:
i) Make a knot as shown in Figure 2
ii) Use one ofthe plug-receptacle retaining
