Handling power cords and power plugs

This section explains safety precautions about handling power cords and power plugs.

WARNING


  • Connect this machine only to a power source that matches the specifications shown on the inside front cover of this manual and do not use an extension cord.

  • Use of this machine with extension cords and power sources other than those that match the specifications shown constitutes an electric shock and fire hazard.

WARNING


  • Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic constitutes a fire and electric shock hazard.

WARNING


  • Do not use power cords that are damaged, broken, or modified. Also, do not use power cords that have been trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or bent severely. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

WARNING


  • Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the power cable or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.

WARNING


  • If the power cord is damaged and its inner wires are exposed or broken, contact your service representative for a replacement. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.

WARNING


  • It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric shock.

WARNING


  • Be sure to locate the machine as close as possible to a wall outlet. This will allow easy disconnection of the power cord in the event of an emergency.

WARNING


  • Do not use multi-socket adaptors. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

WARNING


  • Do not use extension cords. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION


  • When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable).

CAUTION


  • 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.

CAUTION


  • 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.

CAUTION


  • Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.
