If the voltage is different from the voltage indicated overheating, smoke or fire may occur.
2) Check the switch is OFF, before inserting the plug into the power supply socket.
• If the plug is inserted into the power supply when the switch is ON, the machine may start operation abruptly, and is
liable to cause accidents. Be sure to check the switch is OFF.

immediately stop operation of the machine.
• Check symptoms against the items in [Troubleshooting Methods] in the operation manual, observe corresponding
instructions. If the machine is used continuously, overheating, smoke or fire might occur, causing accidents or injuriy.
• If overheating or smoke from the main unit occurs, do not attempt an overhaul but ask for an inspection and repair.
