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

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

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
