IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
POLARIZED PLUG (120V Models Only)
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 fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
ELECTRICAL CORD
The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or
tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an extension cord rated
no less than 15-amperes. (For 220 volts rated products, use an extension cord rated
no less than 6-amperes). When using an extension cord, do not let it drape over
the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it. Handle
cord carefully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it at outlet and appliance
connections.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning :
This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not
attempt to remove the outer cover
. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel or in Latin America by an authorized service center.
