5. Blades are sharp. Handle carefully.

The blade assembly is designed to be removable to facilitate cleaning and replacement if needed. ONLY grasp the blade assembly by the top of the shaft. Failure to use care when handling the blade assembly will result in a risk of laceration.

7. Turn the appliance OFF, then unplug the appliance from the outlet when not in use, before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the
   plug by the body and pull from the outlet. NEVER unplug by grasping and pulling the flexible cord.

8. Before use, wash all parts that may contact food. Follow washing instructions covered in this instruction manual.

9. Before each use, inspect blade assembly for damage. If a blade is bent or damage is suspected, contact SharkNinja to arrange for replacement.

10. DO NOT use this appliance outdoors. It is designed for indoor household use only.

11. This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT modify the plug in any way.

40. Upon completion of processing, ensure the blade assembly is removed BEFORE emptying container’s contents. Remove the blade assembly by carefully grasping the top of the shaft and lifting it from the container. Failure to remove the blade assembly before emptying the container results in a risk of laceration.
