This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wide than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is
intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
This tool is packaged with a stand. We strongly urge users to always rest a hot iron on the specially designed stand to
prevent risk of fire. If the stand is not used, the heated tip will tip and may burn any objects that it comes in contact, which
will result in a fire hazard.
