18. The tamper provided must be used only when the main part of the lid

19. Blades are sharp. Clean around the blade assembly in the container with

extreme care to avoid injury. To reduce the risk of injury, never place a blade assembly on the motor base unless assembled to the Vitamix container.

20. Care should be taken when handling the sharp cutting blades, emptying
