to come into contact with the blade. Use great care when handling the blade
and avoid touching the sharp edges of the blade. Use protective gloves if
necessary. Store the blade safely.
• Be careful to prevent the Blade from falling out of the Bowl when emptying
the Bowl. Remove it before tilting the Bowl.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when plugged in.
• Avoid coming into contact with moving parts. Keep hands, spatulas, and
other utensils away from moving blade while processing food to prevent the
possibility of severe personal injury or damage to the Food Chopper.
