• Do not use power cords that are damaged, broken, or modified. Also, do not use power cords
that have been trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or bent severely. Doing so could result
in fire or electric shock.
• Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic constitutes a fire and electric
shock hazard.
• It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric
shock.
• 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. Operating the machine with a damaged power cord may
cause an electric shock or fire.
• Be sure to push the plug of the power cord fully into the wall outlet. Partially inserted plugs create
an unstable connection that can result in unsafe buildup of heat.
• If this machine is not going to be used for several days or longer at a time, disconnect its power
cord from the wall outlet.
• When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord. Pulling
the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric
shock.
