Power Supply
WARNING
• Do not damage or modify the power cord. Also, do not
place heavy objects on the power cord or pull on or
excessively bend it. This can cause electrical damage,
resulting in fire or electrical shock.
• Keep the power cord away from all heat sources. Failure to
do so can cause the power cord insulation to melt, resulting
in a fire or electrical shock.
• The power cord should not be taut, as this may lead to a
loose connection and cause overheating, which could result
in a fire.
• The power cord may become damaged if it is stepped on,
fixed with staples, or if heavy objects are placed on it.
Continued use of a damaged power cord can lead to an
accident, such as a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not plug or unplug the power plug with wet hands, as
this can result in electrical shock.
• Do not plug the power cord into a multiplug power strip, as
this can result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not bundle up or tie up the power cord in a knot, as this
can result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Insert the power plug completely into the AC power outlet.
Failure to do so can result in a fire or electrical shock.
• If excessive stress is applied to the connection part of the
power cord, it may damage the power cord or the wires
inside the machine may disconnect. This could result in a
fire. Avoid the following situations:
- Connecting and disconnecting the power cord
frequently.
- Tripping over the power cord.
