SECTION 1
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Read all instructions carefully before using your Commercial
series blender. Following these instructions will help prevent
injuries and damage to the machine so you have the best possible
experience with your Blendtec
1.1 SAFETY CERTIFICATION
The Commercial series blenders are certified to required safety
standards and tested for electrical and mechanical safety. The
safety standards have been developed over many years to
reduce the risk of injury, fire and damage. Part of the certification
process includes quarterly audits.
1.2 AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS
• ALWAYS keep fingers, hands, hair, and clothing away from all
moving parts.
• ALWAYS keep all utensils away from the drive socket and
blender jar blades during operation as utensils may damage
blades or the blender jar.
• NEVER put hands into the blender jar or add substances by
hand when the blender jar is on the motor base.
• NEVER touch the blade with your fingers whether it is on or off
the motor base.
• NEVER place jar into drive socket if blender motor is operating.
• DO NOT rock or remove the blender jar during operation.
These precautions will help prevent personal injury and/or
damage to the blender.
1.3 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.

1.4 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.
1.5 NEVER PUT NON-FOOD ITEMS INTO JAR
Utensils, rocks, and glass are dangerous if placed in jar. Damage
caused by such foreign objects will void the warranty. Keep hands
and utensils out of jar 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.
1.6 NEVER OPERATE THE BLENDER WITHOUT
THE LID IN PLACE
1.7 NEVER OPERATE THE BLENDER USING
ATTACHMENTS NOT SOLD BY BLENDTEC
The use of any unauthorized attachments may cause fire, electric
shock, and/or injury and will void the warranty.
1.8 BLENDER JAR MUST BE PROPERLY IN PLACE
WHILE APPLIANCE IS OPERATING
1.9 USE CAUTION WHEN BLENDING HOT LIQUIDS
Your Commercial series blender may have a vented lid that acts as
a pressure relief to allow steam to escape. Be careful not to come
in contact with any steam.
1.10 POWER CORD PRECAUTIONS
• NEVER operate with a damaged cord or plug. If the supply
cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer or
authorized service agent to avoid a hazard.
• DO NOT permit the cord to hang over the edge of the work
surface.
• NEVER use an extension cord with the unit.
