• DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never
yank the cord to disconnect it from the
socket. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil and sharp edges. Do not modify the
electrical plug provided—if it will not
fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.

have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-
pole receptacles that accept the tool’s
plug. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current

cleaning, inspecting, and changing
accessories. When not in use, discon-
nect from the power supply. Never
touch internal parts of the sharpener

• GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: In the
event of a malfunctions or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least re-
sistance for electric current to reduce
risk of electric shock. This tool is
equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor
and grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into a matching outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Improper connection of
the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.
The conductor with insulation having
an outer surface that is green with or
without yellow stripes is the equip-
ment-grounding conductor. If repair
or replacement of the electric cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect the
equipment-grounding conductor to a
live terminal. Check with a qualified
electrician or service personnel if the
grounding instructions are not com-
pletely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the tool is properly grounded.
Repair or replace damaged or worn
cord immediately.
