Handling power cords and power plugs
This section explains safety precautions about handling power cords and power plugs.
![WARNING](../../web/gen/en-warning.gif)
|
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.

|
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.

![CAUTION](../../web/gen/en-caution.gif)
|
When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.
