require the use of a polarized extension cord. The
appliance plug will fit into a polarized extension cord
only one way. If the 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 use of a polarized wall
outlet. This plug will fit into the polarized wall outlet
only one way. 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 equipment plug, extension cord
receptacle, or extension cord plug in any way.
• In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding.
• No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added to
the appliance. Servicing a double-insulated appliance
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and
should be done only by qualified service personnel.
• Replacement parts for a double-insulated appliance must
be identical to the parts they replace.
• Do not handle plug or appliance with wet hands.
• Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug from
outlet when not in use and before servicing.
• Do not use with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not
working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left
outdoors, or dropped into water, return it to a service
center.
• This appliance is provided with double insulation. Use
only identical replacement parts.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use, such as SJW or
SJTW.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is
the correct size for your appliance. The table 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 gauge number, the heavier the cord.
An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
