Power Plug and Power Cord
1. Always make sure that the power plug is fully completely into the wall outlet. A
partially inserted plug could lead to heat generation (due to a power surge
caused by high resistance) that can result in fire and other problems.
2. Always check the power plug and make sure that it is free of dust and lint.
Clean it if necessary. A dirty plug can generate heat that can result in fire.
3. Inspect the length of the power cord for cuts or other damage. A frayed or
otherwise damaged power cord can cause a short circuit which could lead to a
fire or injury from electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged in any way, call
for service.
4. Check the length of the power cord between the machine and power supply.
Make sure the power cord is not coiled or wrapped around any object such as a
table leg. Coiling the power cord can cause excessive heat to build up and this
could result in fire.
5. Make sure that the area around the wall outlet is free of obstacles so the power
cord can be removed quickly in case of an emergency.
6. Make sure that the power cord is grounded (earthed) at the wall outlet using the
ground wire on the plug.
7. Insert the power cord into the wall outlet directly. Never use an extension cord.
8. When disconnecting the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug,
not the cable.
