This product is for household use only.
POLARIZED PLUG (20V Models Only)
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 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 attempt to
modify 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 extension cord rated no less than 15-amperes. (For 220 volts
rated products, use an extension cord rated no less than 6-amperes.)
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.

removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Note: If the power supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced by qualified
personnel; in latin America, by an authorized service center.
