IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read these operating instructions carefully before using the unit. Follow
the safety instructions on the unit and the safety precautions listed below.
Keep these operating instructions handy for future reference.
Safety
1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source of the type de-
scribed in these instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized power plug where
one blade is wider than the other. This safety feature ensures that the
plug fits into your household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn't
fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact an electri-
cian to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the plug.
3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power supply cord so that it
will not be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Never
take hold of the plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug
body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.
4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power supply cord, be careful
not to overload the household AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any
other device as this can result in fire or electric shock.
5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in use. Unplug the
unit from the household AC outlet if it is not to be used for a long time.

6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the attachments and ac-
cessories recommended in these operating instructions.
