POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug—one blade
is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of
electric 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 safety feature by modify-
ing the plug in any way.
ELECTRICAL CORD
The cord length of this knife was selected to
reduce safety hazards that may occur with a
longer cord. If more cord length is needed, an
extension cord with a polarized plug may be
used. It should be rated not less than 10
amperes, 120 Volts, and have Underwriters
Laboratories listing. A properly rated extension
cord may be purchased from a Black & Decker
(U.S.) Inc., Household Appliance Company-
Owned or Authorized Service Center. When
using a longer cord, be sure it does not drape
over a working area or dangle where it could
be pulled on or tripped over. Handle cord care-
fully for longer life; avoid jerking or straining it
at outlet and appliance connections.

BEFORE USING
CAUTION:
Be sure the Safety Lock Button is in
the “Lock” position before inserting or remov-
ing Blades. Insert Blades so that the serrated
edge is facing down AWAY from you (see
Figure A, Page 4). NEVER place your hand over
the blade to support it while operating this
knife. The Blades are designed to slide back
and forth to provide cutting action.
