WARNING
Power and Ground Connec-
tion Cautions
Ensure that the plug connection is free of
dust. In a damp environment, a
contaminated connector can draw a
significant amount of current that can
generate heat and eventually cause fire if
left unattended over an extended period
of time.
Always use the power cord provided with
your machine. When an extension power
cord is required, always use a properly
rated cord.
●
120 V / 20 A
If you use a cord with an unspecified
current rating, the machine or plug may
emit smoke or become hot to the touch.
Do not attempt to repair, pull, bend, chafe
or otherwise damage the power cord. Do
not place a heavy object on the cord. A
damaged cord can cause fire or electric
shocks.
Never touch a power cord with wet
hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
If the power cord is damaged or insulated
wires are exposed, contact the
authorized Panasonic dealer for a
replacement. Using a damaged cord can
cause fire or electric shocks.
When disconnecting the machine, grasp
the plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a
cord forcibly can damage it and cause
fire or electric shock.
Stop operation immediately if your
machine emits smoke, excessive heat,
unusual noise, or abnormal smell, or if
water is spilt onto the machine. These
conditions can cause fire. Immediately
switch Off and unplug the machine, and
contact the authorized Panasonic dealer.
Do not disconnect or reconnect the
machine while the power switch is in the
On position. Disconnecting a live
connector can cause arcing,
consequently deforming the plug and
cause fire.
When the machine is not used over an
extended period of time, switch it Off and
unplug it. If an unused machine is left
connected to a power source for a long
period, degraded insulation can cause
electric shocks, current leakage or fire.
Be sure to switch Off and unplug the
machine before accessing the interior of
the machine for cleaning, maintenance
or fault clearance. Access to a live
machine’s interior can cause electric
shock.
