2. Safety Information for This Machine • 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. • 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. • 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 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 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. • When performing maintenance on the machine, always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
