ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in
any way.
NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the

WARNING
It is normal for the power cord to feel warm to the touch; however, a
loose fit between the outlet and the plug may cause overheating of
the plug. If this occurs, try inserting the plug into a dierent outlet.
Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the original outlet for
damage.
