IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, basic safety precaution should always be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions.

To protect against risk of electric shock do not immerse plug, cord, or handle in water or other liquid. Do not operate knife in water or under running water.

■Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

■ Turn off and unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning. Disconnect when changing blades.

■Avoid contacting moving parts.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, electrical repair, mechanical repair or adjustment.

The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.

■Do not use outdoors.

- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces including the stove.

■ Make sure the operating bar safety lock is in the safety position so bar cannot be accidentally activated.

Blades are sharp. Handle carefully. Always handle blades with hand away from the cutting edge. Always store blades with cutting edge away from you. Store out of reach of children.

■Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.

This product is intended for household use only; not for commercial or industrial use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug — one blade is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying the plug in any way.

ELECTRICAL CORD

The cord length of this knife was selected to reduce safety hazards that may occur with a longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an extension cord with a polarized plug may be used. It should be rated not less than 10 amperes, 120 Volts, and have Underwriters Laboratories and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) listing. A properly rated extension cord may be purchased from a Black & Decker Household

Appliance Company-Owned or Authorized Service Center. Handle cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance connections.
