reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. This also applies to

Extension Cords
An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire
Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss of performance. The smaller the
gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable; that is, 16
gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each individual
extension contains at least the minimum wire size. Before using an
extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires, damaged insulation
and defective fittings. Make any needed repairs or replace the cord if
necessary. To determine the minimum size required, refer to the chart
below:

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other ). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit
into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
