When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be taken, including the
following:

Read all instructions before using the M9.21i or M9.21si. These instructions are written
to ensure your safety and to protect the unit.

Before beginning any fitness program, you should obtain a complete physical examination by
your physician.

Il est conseillé de subir un examen médical complet avant d’entreprendre tout programme
d’exercise. Si vous avez des étourdissements ou des faiblesses, arrêtez les exercices
immédiatement.

DANGER

To reduce the risk of electrical shock always unplug the treadmill from the electrical outlet
immediately after using and before cleaning.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, take the following
precautions:

When it is plugged in, do not leave the M9.21i or M9.21si unattended. Unplug the unit from
the power source when it is not in use, and before putting on or taking off parts.

Do not allow children, invalids, or disabled persons on or near the M9.21i or M9.21si
treadmill without adult supervision. Close supervision is necessary.

Use the M9.21i or M9.21si only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not
use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer—such
attachments might cause injuries.

Never operate the unit if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it
has been dropped or damaged, or dropped in water. Return the M9.21i or M9.21si to a
service center for examination and repair.

Keep the power cord and plug away from heated surfaces.

Never block the air openings on the hood while operating the M9.21i or M9.21si. Keep the
air openings clean and free of lint, hair, or anything that might impede the free flow of air.

Never drop or insert objects into any opening. Keep hands away from moving parts.

Do not use outdoors.

Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being
administered.

To disconnect, turn the power switch to the OFF (O) position, then remove the power plug
from the wall outlet.

WARNING

Connect the M9.21i or M9.21si to a properly grounded outlet only. See 

Grounding Instructions.
