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, 120NOTE: The rubberized grip is free of natural rubber and latex. It is safe for use by individuals allergic or sensitive to these materials.
