2.1.8. Check the AC electrical outlet that will be
used and make sure it is a polarized outlet. The
machine has a polarized plug (one blade of plug is
wider than the other) that will accept a polarized
extension cord. The extension cord will fit into a
polarized outlet (receptacle) only one way. If plug
does not fit fully into your outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a proper polarized outlet. DO NOT modify or
change this polarized plug in any way.
