Important Safety Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these warnings, cautions, and notices could
result in personal injury, damage to the vessel or device, or poor
product performance.
See the
Important Safety and Product Information
guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line
fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product
damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse
must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In
addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate
fuse in place voids the product warranty.

ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or
sanding.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device and
vessel, disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning

To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device or
vessel, before applying power to the device, make sure that it
has been properly grounded, following the instructions in the
guide.
NOTICE
For the best possible performance, the device must be installed
according to these instructions.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
