necessary when any appliance
is used near children.

2 To reduce the risk of electric

shock, this appliance has a
polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. DO NOT force into
outlet or try to modif y to fit.

shock, and injury to persons,
DO NOT immerse cord, plugs,
or body of machine in water
or other liquid.

4 NEVER carry the appliance by the

power cord or yank it to disconnect
from electrical outlet; instead grasp
the plug and pull to disconnect.

5 DO NOT operate any appliance

with a damaged cord or plug, or
after the appliance malfunctions,
or has been dropped or damaged
in any manner. Contact SharkNinja
