WARNING


  • Do not use any power sources other than those that match the specifications shown in this manual. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.


  • Do not use any frequencies other than those that match the specifications shown. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.


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


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


  • 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.


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


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


  • The supplied power cord is for use with this machine only. Do not use it with other appliances. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.


  • 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.


  • Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet at least once a year and check for the following:

    • There are burn marks on the plug.

    • The prongs on the plug are deformed.

  • If any of the above conditions exist, do not use the plug and consult your dealer or service representative. Use of the plug could result in fire or electric shock.


  • Be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet at least once a year and check for the following:

    • The power cord's inner wires are exposed, broken, etc.

    • The power cord's coating has a crack or dent.

    • When bending the power cord, the power turns off and on.

    • Part of the power cord becomes hot.

    • The power cord is damaged.

  • If any of the above conditions exist, do not use the power cord and consult your dealer or service representative. Use of the power cord could result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION


  • 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.


  • Be sure to push the plug of the power cord fully into the wall outlet. Partially inserted plugs create an unstable connection that can result in unsafe buildup of heat.


  • 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.


  • If this machine is not going to be used for several days or longer at a time, disconnect its power cord from the wall outlet.


  • When performing maintenance on the machine, always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
