Handling power cords and power plugs
This section explains safety precautions about handling power cords and power
plugs.
R WARNING:
 
R CAUTION:
 
• Connect the machine to the power source specified on the inside front 
cover of this manual and do not use any other power sources. Connect 
the power cord directly to a wall outlet and do not use an extension 
cord. Power sources not specified on the inside front cover of this 
manual and extension cords are electric shock or fire hazards.
• Power cords that are damaged, broken, modified, trapped under heavy 
objects, pulled hard, or bent severely are electric shock and fire haz-
ards.
 
• Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the 
power cable or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
• If the power cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, 
etc.), contact your service representative to change a new one. Oper-
ating the machine with a damaged power cord may cause an electric 
shock or fire.
• It is dangerous to handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this may re-
sult in receiving an electric shock.
 
• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the 
plug (not the cable).
• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by plug. Do not drag the cord itself. 
Doing so may result in damage to the cord, leading to fire or electric shock.
• For safety reason, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the machine 
will not be used for an extended period of time such as holidays.
