Power-Cord Protection — Route power-supply cords so they are 
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against 
them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience 
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
Power Lines
 — An outside antenna system should not be located 
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or 
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. 
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be 
taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact 
with them might be fatal. 
Nonuse Periods
 — The power cord of the appliance should be 
unplugged from the outlet when the appliance is to be left unused 
for a long period of time.
Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or 
integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in a risk of fire 
or electric shock.
Objects and Liquids — Never push objects of any kind into this 
appliance through openings, as they may touch dangerous voltage 
points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. 
Never spill liquid of any kind on the appliance.

stand, the cart or stand should be a type recommended by the  
manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be moved 
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces cause 
the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
