Never pull or stretch the cord.

9. Enclosure removal – Never remove the enclosure. If

the internal parts are touched accidentally, a serious
electric shock might occur.

3. CAUTION – Polarization – This appliance may

be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit
into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug. 10.Magnetic fields – Keep the appliance away from sources

recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart
combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.

5. Water and moisture – The appliance should not be

used near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, etc.
