Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped. The user should not attempt to service this OWI product beyond those means described
in this operating manual. All other servicing should be referred to the OWI Service Department.

16.
To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet
unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
17.
Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably
in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to
sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart.
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some hearing loss.
To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all
persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while
the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when
operating the equipment in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits
set forth here.

OWI recommends that this apparatus is to be placed on a switched power outlet, one that switches both
