ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
WARNING: Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.
Double-insulated appliances are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation or one single layer of reinforced insulation between the user and the appliance’s electrical system. Products built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, this appliance is equipped with a two-prong plug which permits it to be used without concern for maintaining ground connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of the normal safety precautions when operating this appliance. The secondary insulation system is for protection against injury resulting from a possible failure of the primary insulation within the product.
CAUTION: When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Repair or replace damaged cords.
POWER CORD SUPPLY
- If the power supply cord is too short, do not use an extension cord. Have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
a. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE
It is important that the plug fits tightly into the wall outlet. If the plug
does not fit securely and appears to be loose, it should not be used. Have a
licensed electrician replace the receptacle.
