Important Safety Instructions - Hitachi C40L3 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two
blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for
your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving
the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-
supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
15) Apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on the apparatus.
16) An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power
lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.
17) Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
18) Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or
spray any type of liquid into the unit.
19) If an outside antenna or cable system is
connected to the unit, be sure the antenna
or cable system is grounded to provide
some protection against voltage surges
and built-up static charges, Section 810
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location
of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
