To reduce the risk of electric shock, this vacuum cleaner has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will 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 force into outlet or try to modify to fit.
