SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance may have 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 modifying 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 Underwriters Laboratories (UL)-Listed or appropriate agency-

approved extension cord rated no less than 15-amperes and 120 volts. 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 SCREWS

This appliance is equipped with tamper-resistant screws to prevent removal of the covers. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the covers. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.
