Safety First! 

Mains Plug and AC Cable

•  Insert the mains plug fully into the mains outlet socket.

•  Use only the original mains cable provided.

•  Do not move the CDD-1 while it is connected to mains.

•  Do not place heavy objects on the mains cable or place the cable near any source of heat.

•  Do not use damaged mains plugs or socket outlets.

Liquids

Electricity and liquids are never a safe combination, therefore:

•  When cleaning the CDD-1, remove the mains plug.

•  Do not handle the mains plug with wet hands.

•  Do not spray any liquid directly onto the CDD-1.

•  Do not place liquid containers above or near the CDD-1.

•  In short, keep all liquids well away from the CDD-1.

…And

•  This is not a toy and should not be handled like one (by children OR adults).

•  Do not remove the covers of the CDD-1 (for service, see page 14).

•  Do not attempt to insert foreign objects into the CDD-1 (for service, see page 14).

•  Do not cover the CDD-1 with cloth or block the air vents in any way.

•  Place the CDD-1 only on a stable, horizontal surface.

•  When the CDD-1 will not be used for an extended period, disconnect the mains plug.

•  The CDD-1 is built for indoor temperatures (15-25 degrees Celsius). Let it acclimate itself to room temperature before use, if it has 

been exposed to cold temperatures.

•  Make sure that the CDD-1 is able to breathe with unobstructed free space on all sides.

•  This is a Class 1 laser product. Class 1 is the lowest hazard classifi cation of lasers and poses no threat to skin or eyes - even if you look 

directly into the beam. But don’t be a hero and try to stare into the laser anyway...
