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.
