plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit into a polarized
outlet only one way. If plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless
plug can be fully plugged into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug.
