Maintenance and Safety Precautions
●Turn ON/OFF switch to OFF and unplug your wheel from the power source before cleaning or inspection.
●Never hose down the machine. Clean off the potter's wheel with a damp cloth. Drain your splashpan
regularly to avoid a build up of excessive water and clay. Detach the splash pan after each use and
clean out thoroughly.
●Touching switches or plugs with wet hands may result in electrical shock.
●Do not tamper with the electrical circuit and controller of your wheel. You may be at risk of getting an
electrical shock. Your potter's wheel is a precision instrument and it is advised that you refer operation
or performance complaints to a Shimpo-referred, qualified technician.
●Use good judgement and caution when in use around children. Adult supervision must be provided
when using around children.
●Take off metal accessories such as rings and watches before handling.
●Do not pick up the wheel by the wheelhead. You may bend the shaft.
●Unplug your wheel from power source if you will not be using it for an extended period of time.
●Please ask for Shimpo Dealer to replace the power cord when you have problem. Never repair the
power cord by yourself.
