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

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

procedures.

WARNING:To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use with an extension cord.

If the plug does not ﬁt securely and appears loose, it should not be used.

Have a licensed electrician replace the receptacle.
