Ŷ
To prevent hazard of electrical shock, this compactor
must be properly installed and grounded in

Ŷ
Do not operate with a damaged cord set, plug, motor,
or after damage in any manner. Have the appliance
examined, repaired, or adjusted by an authorized
service technician.
Ŷ
Do not take apart this appliance. Incorrect
reassembly can cause electric shock when

Unplug the compactor before making any repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be
performed by a qualified person.

Follow National Electric Codes or prevailing local
codes and ordinances. This appliance must be
supplied with 120V, 60Hz and connected to an
