A double-insulated appliance is marked with one or more of the following: The words "DOUBLE INSULATION"
or "DOUBLE INSULATED" or the double insulation symbol (square within a square):
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

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
1. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. %Table A shows
the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
2. Turn Power Switch OFF.
Plug Power Cord into electrical outlet.
