(4) Warning of Electrical Dangers
Electrical Energy
Immediately remove power to the machine in case of trouble in the electrical system.
Replace a fuse with one with the same style and ratings; pay particular attention to
matching the specified current.
Any electrical work performed on the equipment must be conducted by a skilled
electrician or under the supervision of a skilled electrician. All work must observe good
electrical engineering practice and follow safety rules and local wiring standards.
Inspect the electrical equipment of the machine at regular intervals. Tighten any loose
connections. Check wiring for scorch marks; replace scorched wiring and determine and
correct the reason for the overheating.
When working on live equipment, ensure that a second person is available to cut power in
case of an emergency. When appropriate, secure the working area with safety tape and a
warning sign. Use insulated tools for electrical work.
Before working on high-voltage assemblies, turn off the power supply. Carefully discharge
the supply cable and short-circuit any energy-storage components such as capacitors.
If the equipment was moved, carefully refit and refasten all parts removed for transport
before reapplying power.
Before moving the machine, remember to disconnect the power cable.

(5) Grounding Instructions Shall Include the Following
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord that has a
grounding wire and an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, connect the ground wire to the
ground terminal of the plug. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes)
is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not
clear or if in doubt about the proper grounding of the machine. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it will not fit the power outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
DANGER!
Improper installation of the grounding can result in electrocution.
