CAUTION Denotes hazards that could result in minor injury or damage to the unit. These symbols are used to alert operators to a specific operating procedure that must not be performed. These symbols are used to alert operators to a specific operating procedure that must be emphasized in order to operate the unit safely. WARNING Power and Ground Connection The power source voltage of this unit is listed on the nameplate. Only plug the unit into an AC outlet with the proper voltage. If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the unit or plug may emit smoke or become hot to the touch. When you operate this product, the power outlet should be near the product and easily accessible. To ensure safe operation the power cord supplied must be inserted into a standard three-prong AC outlet which is effectively grounded (earthed) through the normal wiring. The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is grounded (earthed) and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding (earthing) of the power point, consult a qualified electrician. If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the AC outlet with a properly grounded (earthed) one. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding (earthing) plug (ex. do not use a conversion plug). Plug the power cord firmly into an AC outlet. Otherwise, it can cause fire or electric shock. Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or chafe the power cord, and plug. Damage to the power cord or plug can cause fire or electric shock. Do not attempt to repair the power cord, or plug. If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed, contact an authorized service representative for a replacement. Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated connector can draw a significant amount of current that can generate heat, and eventually cause fire if left unattended over an extended period of time. Never touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists. Stop operation immediately if the unit emits smoke, excessive heat, abnormal smell, or unusual noise. These conditions can cause fire or electric shock. Immediately turn the unit off, and unplug the power cord, and contact your dealer for service. When disconnecting the unit, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord forcibly can damage it, and cause fire or electric shock. 5
