To reduce the risk of electric shock, this saw 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 of your
extension cord, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, a polarized extension cord will be necessary. Do
not change the plug in any way.
