■
Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attach-
ments can result in accidents.
■

are not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
For units designed to operate on batteries or another power source, refer to the operating instructions.
■
Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them

sure the power supply unit provides stable voltage with minimum fluctuations. Unstable power supply can
cause problems in the product.
■
Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords.
Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
■
Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High
voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts.
For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.
■
Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high
voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

qualified service person to perform repairs:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged.

c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.

of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjust-
ment work by a qualified technician.

f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates
that the product needs servicing.
