Safety
1. Power sourceConnect the unit to a power source
of the type described in these instructions or as
marked on the unit.
2. PolarizationThe unit is equipped with a polarized
power plug where one blade is wider than the other.
This safety feature ensures that the plug fits into your
household AC outlet only one way. If the plug doesn’t
fit one way, try reversing it. If the plug still doesn’t fit,
contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the
plug.
3. Power cord protectionRoute the AC power sup-
ply cord so that it will not be walked on or pinched by
items placed on or against it. Never take hold of the
plug or cord with wet hands. Always grasp the plug
body firmly when connecting and disconnecting it.
4. OverloadingWhen connecting the AC power sup-
ply cord, be careful not to overload the household AC
outlet, extension cord, or outlet from any other device
as this can result in fire or electric shock.
5. Nonuse periodsTurn the unit off when it is not in
use. Unplug the unit from the household AC outlet if it
is not to be used for a long time. Unplug the unit dur-
ing lightning storms. Leaving the unit connected to a
household AC outlet for extended periods can cause
battery fluid leakage.
6. Attachments and accessoriesUse only the at-
tachments and accessories recommended in these
operating instructions.
