Polarization—This product is equipped with a polarized AC
line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit in the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you cannot insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug. If you need an
extension, use a polarized cord.
