blade is wider than the other) and will require the use of a polarized extension
cord. The 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

wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug, extension cord receptacle, or
