roll over or damage the power cord.
This constitutes a fi re hazard.

Always make sure that you have grounded the

repair any part of the appliance. Power leakages
can cause severe electric shock.
Never use gas pipes, telephone lines or other

potential lightning attractors as an electrical
ground.
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in

a risk of electric shock. If it is necessary to use
an extension cord, use only a 3-wire
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the appliance. The marked rating
of the extension cord should be AC115-120 V,
10 A, or more. If a grounding adapter is used,
make sure the receptacle box is fully grounded.
If the power cord is damaged, have it

replaced immediately by the manufacturer
or its service agent.
