the safety precautions listed below. Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
1. Power Source—Connect the unit to a power
source of the type described in these instructions
or as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polar-
ized power plug where one blade is wider than the
other. This safety feature ensures that the plug fits
into your household AC outlet only one way. If the
plug doesn’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the
plug still doesn’t fit, contact an electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to
defeat the safety purpose of the plug.

supply cord so that it will not be walked on or
pinched by items placed on or against it. Never
take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands.
Always grasp the plug body firmly when connect-
ing and disconnecting it.
