CAUTION!
Risk of electrical shock
The device should be used in the
manner specified by manufacturer.
Using the device in any other way may
result in electrical shock.
Spray and moisture can cause an
electric shock or hardware damage.
DO NOT use the polariscope where it
is likely to be aected by moisture or
spray of fluids. Improper cabling can
cause injury or a shock. DO NOT let
anything rest on the power cord. DO
NOT locate the polariscope where
people will walk on the cord. When
routing the cord, try to make rounded
bends rather than sharp ones that can
kink the cord.
Unstable positions can cause serious
damage to the polariscope or personal
danger, if it falls. DO NOT put the
polariscope on an unstable cart,
stand, or table. Always position the
polariscope so that it is easy to operate
the disconnect device (power supply
cord plug).
ACTION IF FAULT OCCURS
A fault can cause electric shock or
injury. Unplug the polariscope from
the power outlet and contact qualified
service personnel if the following
conditions occur:
• The power cord or plug is damaged
or frayed
• Liquid has been spilled into
the polariscope
• The polariscope has been exposed
to water
