between furniture.
• Ensure there is no strain on the power cord and that it
does not become jammed between the equipment, walls
or furniture.
• Be certain the area in front of the wall receptacle into
which the machine is plugged is free from obstruction.
• Before clearing a stoppage, be sure machine mechanisms
come to a stop.
• When removing stalled material, avoid using too much
force to protect against minor personal injury and
damaging equipment.
