Power Plug and Cord
Do not connect the earth (ground) to the following objects.
•
Water pipes
(Complete grounding is not possible as hard plastic pipes are widely
used.)
•
Gas pipes (Can result in an explosion or fire)
•
Lightning rods and telephone dedicated grounding wire (Dangerous
during lightning)
Do not touch the power plug or socket with wet hands.
Failure to do so can result in electric shock.
Use a single socket (do not share a socket with other plugs).
Use an unshared socket with an attached ground terminal.
Using the same socket together with the power plug of other devices
can result in abnormal heat generation and possible fire.
Firmly insert the power plug into the socket.
Be sure to fully insert the power plug into the socket until reaching the
base of the plug.
Failure to fully insert the plug or similar fault can result in a short circuit
or heat generation that causes a fire.
Wipe off the dirt on power plug and socket with a dry cloth to
avoid any possible fire.
Hold by the power plug when unplugging.
Do not pull the cord to remove the power plug from the socket. Hold
by the power plug at the end of the cord when removing. Removing
the plug by pulling the power cord can damage the power cord,
resulting in electric shock or fire.
Be careful when handling the power cord.
Damaging the cord can result in electric shock or fire.
-
Do not damage the cord.
-
Do not place objects on top of the cord.
-
Do not alter the cord.
-
Do not heat the cord.
-
Do not excessively bend, twist, or pull the cord.
Be careful of power cord or plug breakage.
Do not use any power cord or plug that is damaged, or that fits
loosely when inserted into a socket. Doing so can result in electric
shock or fire.
