SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit.

If an extension cord is necessary, it should be rated not
less than 10 amperes and have Underwriters Laboratories
listing. Cords rated for less amperage may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it cannot be
pulled on or tripped over.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized
plug—one blade is wider than the
other. To reduce the risk of elec-
tric 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 safe-
ty feature by modifying the plug in
any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT

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 (see pages 14 &
15 for a list of Black & Decker
Company-Owned Service
Centers).
