Handling power cords and power plugs
This section explains safety precautions about handling power cords and power plugs.
Connect the machine to the power source specified on the inside front cover of this manual and do not use any other power sources. Connect the power cord directly to a wall outlet and do not use an extension cord. Power sources not specified on the inside front cover of this manual and extension cords are electric shock or fire hazards.
Power cords that are damaged, broken, modified, trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or bent severely are electric shock and fire hazards.
Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the power cable or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
If the power cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.), contact your service representative to change a new one. Operating the machine with a damaged power cord may cause an electric shock or fire.
It is dangerous to handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this may result in receiving an electric shock.
When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable).
To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by plug. Do not drag the cord itself. Doing so may result in damage to the cord, leading to fire or electric shock.
For safety reason, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the machine will not be used for an extended period of time such as holidays.
