To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this 
section carefully before using the unit to ensure proper 
and safe operation of your unit.
The following graphic symbols are used in this 
Operating Instructions manual.
Power and Ground Connection
The power source voltage of this unit is 
listed on the nameplate. Only plug the unit 
into an AC outlet with the proper voltage.
If you use a cord with an unspecified current 
rating, the unit or plug may emit smoke or 
become hot to the touch.
When you operate this product, the power 
outlet should be near the product and easily 
accessible.To ensure safe operation the power cord 
supplied must be inserted into a standard 
three-prong AC outlet which is effectively 
grounded (earthed) through the normal 
wiring.
The fact that the equipment operates 
satisfactorily does not imply that the power 
point is grounded (earthed) and that the 
installation is completely safe. For your 
safety, if in any doubt about the effective 
grounding (earthing) of the power point, 
consult a qualified electrician.
If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC 
outlet, contact a licensed electrician to 
replace the AC outlet with a properly 
grounded (earthed) one.
Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding 
(earthing) plug (ex. do not use a conversion 
plug).
Plug the power cord firmly into an AC outlet. 
Otherwise, it can cause fire or electric 
shock.
Do not pull, bend, rest objects on, or chafe 
the power cord and plug. Damage to the 
power cord or plug can cause fire or electric 
shock.
Do not attempt to repair the power cord or 
plug. If the power cord or plug is damaged or 
frayed, contact an authorized service 
representative for a replacement.
Ensure that the plug connection is free of 
dust. In a damp environment, a 
contaminated connector can draw a 
significant amount of current that can 
generate heat and eventually cause fire if 
left unattended over an extended period of 
time.
Never touch the plug with wet hands. 
Danger of electric shock exists.
