Safety Precautions

Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this manual to ensure that you use the
machine safely. Do not attempt to use the machine in any way not described in this manual.
Warning
You may cause an electric shock, fire, or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety
precautions.
Choosing a location Do not place the machine close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners.
Power supply Never attempt to plug in or unplug the machine from the power supply when your hands are wet.
Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet.
Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist
the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the power
cord.
Never plug the machine into a power socket that is shared
with other equipment (extension lead/cord, 2- or 3-way
adapter, etc.).
Never use the machine if the power cord is bundled or knotted.
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the machine, immediately unplug
the machine at the power supply and call for service.
Periodically, unplug the machine and use a dry cloth to wipe
off any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the power outlet.
If the machine is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust,
smoke, or high humidity, the dust collected on the plug
absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.
If you hear thunder, disconnect the power supply of the machine and refrain from using it. Leaving
the machine plugged in may cause fire, electric shock, or damage to the machine, depending on
the thunder storm.
Use the power cable included with the machine.
