Safety

1. Power source—Connect the unit to a power source

of the type described in these instructions or as
marked on the unit.

2. Polarization—The unit is equipped with a polarized

power plug where one blade is wider than the other.
This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your
household AC outlet only one way. If the plug does-
n’t fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t
fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete out-
let. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of
the  plug.

3. Power cord protection—Route the AC power sup-

ply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by
items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the
plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug
body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.

4. Overloading—When connecting the AC power sup-

ply cord, be careful not to overload the household
AC outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other
device as this can result in fire or electric shock.

5. Nonuse periods—Turn the unit off when it is not in

use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if
it is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit
during lightning storms. Leaving the unit connected
to a household AC outlet for extended periods can
cause battery fluid leakage.

6. Attachments and accessories—Use only the at-

tachments and accessories recommended in these
operating instructions.
