Chapter 1. Read this first: Important safety information
This chapter contains the safety information that you must be familiar with.
Power cords and power adapters
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product
manufacturer. Do not use the ac power cord for other devices.
The power cords shall be safety approved. For Germany, it shall be H05VV-F,
3G, 0.75 mm
2 , or better. For other countries, the suitable types shall be used
accordingly.
Never wrap a power cord around a power adapter or other object. Doing so can
stress the cord in ways that can cause the cord to fray, crack, or crimp. This
can present a safety hazard.
Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or
pinched by objects.
Protect power cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave
your power cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are
cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a short circuit, particularly if the
power cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids also can
cause gradual corrosion of power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals
on a power adapter, which can eventually result in overheating.
Ensure that all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into
receptacles.
Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins or shows
signs of overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input or anywhere on
the power adapter.
Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show
signs of corrosion or overheating or where the power cord appears to have been
damaged in any way.

• Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after
