Handling power cords and power plugs
This section explains safety precautions about handling power cords and power plugs.
• Connect this machine only to a power source that matches the specifications shown on the inside
front cover of this manual and do not use an extension cord.
• Use of this machine with extension cords and power sources other than those that match the
specifications shown constitutes an electric shock and fire hazard.
• Power cords that are damaged, broken, modified, trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or
bent severely are electric shock and fire hazards.
• Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the power cable or plug becomes
frayed or otherwise damaged.
• If the power cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.), contact your service
representative to change a new one. Operating the machine with a damaged power cord may
cause an electric shock or fire.
• It is dangerous to handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this may result in receiving an electric
shock.
• Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic constitutes a fire and electric
shock hazard.
• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable).
• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by plug. Do not drag the cord itself. Doing so may result
in damage to the cord, leading to fire or electric shock.
• For safety reason, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the machine will not be used for
an extended period of time such as holidays.
