IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 polar-
ized 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.
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 exten-
sion 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 exten-
sion cord may be purchased from a Black & Decker Household
