motor housing from the chopper
attachment before removing the

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, 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 attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC
outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
