9. Ensure that the power sockets and plugs are not cracked or broken in any way.
Repair such defects immediately. Take care not to cut or damage the power
cable or plugs when moving the machine.
10. Use caution during thunder or lightening storms. Disconnect the machine from
the power source when such weather conditions are expected. Do not touch
the machine or the power cord if it is still connected to the wall socket in these
weather conditions.
11. Avoid damp or dusty areas. Install the machine in a clean, well-ventilated
location. Do not position the machine near a humidifier. Dampness and dust
build-up inside the machine can lead to overheating and cause a fire.
12. Do not position the machine in direct sunlight. This will cause the temperature
inside the machine to rise, possibly leading to machine failure and, in extreme
conditions, could lead to a fire.
13. Do not insert metal objects into the machine through the ventilator fan or other
part of the casing. This could create contact with a high voltage conductor
inside the machine and cause an electric shock.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
The following instructions are for your own personal safety, to avoid injury and to
prevent damage to the machine.
1. Ensure that machine is installed on a level surface, capable of supporting its
weight. Failure to do so could cause the machine to tip or fall.
2. Avoid placing fingers or hair in close proximity to any rollers, gears, or fans
within this machine while the machine is in operation.
3. Do not place any small metal objects, containers of water, chemicals, or other
liquids close to the machine. This can cause damage, shock, or fire if spilled
into the machine.
4. Do not install the machine in areas with high dust or moisture levels, beside
open windows, or close to a humidifier or heater.
5. Do not place candles, burning cigarettes, etc. on the machine. A fire may occur.
