1.3 AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS
• Keep fingers, hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts.
• Keep all utensils away from the drive socket and blender pitcher blades during
operation. Metal utensils may damage blades.
• NEVER put hands into the blender pitcher or add substances by hand when the
blender pitcher is on the motor base.
• NEVER touch the blade with your fingers whether it is on or off the motor base.
• NEVER place pitcher into drive socket if blender motor is operating.
• DO NOT rock the blender pitcher during operation.
These precautions will prevent personal injury and/or damage to the blender.
1.4 NEVER OPERATE THE BLENDER IF IT APPEARS DAMAGED
If the blender malfunctions call your service agent first. If it is dropped or damaged in
any way, return the blender to a Blendtec service agent immediately for examination,
repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or possible replacement.
1.5 NEVER OPERATE BLENDER IN LIQUID
To protect against the risk of electrical shock do not put the motor base in water or
other liquid. Do not use the blender outdoors where it is subject to precipitation.
1.6 NEVER PUT NON-FOOD ITEMS INTO PITCHER
Metal utensils, rocks, and glass are dangerous if placed in pitcher. Damage caused
by such foreign objects will void the warranty. Keep hands and utensils out of
pitcher while blending to reduce the risk of severe injury to persons or damage to the
blender. Utensils may only be used when the blender is not running.
