GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance
for electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment­grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

POWER SUPPLY CORD

1. If the power supply cord is too short, do not use an extension cord. Have a qualified
electrician or serviceman to install an outlet near the appliance.

2. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord, extreme

care must be exercised.

a) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must equal to or

be greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage

to the product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the
electrical connection procedures.

WARNING

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of

electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are

in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug

provided with the appliance, if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.
