Maintenance and Safety Precautions

Turn ON/OFF switch to OFF and unplug your wheel from the power source before cleaning or

  inspection.

Never hose down the wheel. Clean off the potter's wheel with a damp sponge or cloth. Drain your 

  splashpan regularly to avoid a build up of excessive water and clay. Detach the splash pan after 

  each use and clean out thoroughly.

Touching switches or plugs with wet hands may result  in electrical shock.   

Do not tamper with the electrical circuit and controller of your wheel.  You may be at risk of 

  getting an electrical shock. Your potter's wheel is a precision instrument and it is advised 

  that you refer operation or performance complaints to a Shimpo-referred, quali ed technician.

Use good judgement and caution when in use around children. Adult supervision must be provided

when using around children.

Take off metal accessories such as rings and watches before handling.

Do not pick up the wheel by the wheelhead. You may bend the shaft. 

Unplug your wheel from power source if you will not be using it for an extended period of time.

If the power cord becomes damaged, please ask your Authorized Shimpo Dealer about a replacement.

  Do not attempt to repair the power cord by yourself.
