Fire
• For your safety, make sure to unplug the power plug from the electrical
outlet when not in use.
• Clear dust on the power plug periodically (a few times a year).
If the power supply cord is left plugging into the electrical outlet for a long
period of time, electrical tracking may occur due to dust and moisture, and it
may result in an ignition or a fire.
Fire or electric shock
• Do not bundle the power supply cord during use.
• Do not damage the power supply cord nor apply an excessive load to it,
such as bending and stretching it repeatedly, putting a heavy thing on it.
• If it cannot be plugged into an electrical outlet firmly, stop use of the power
supply cord.
If may result in overheating, a fire, an electrical shock, or breakdown.
CAUTION
