Safety Precautions (Must be Obeyed)
WARNING
Insert the chair power plug directly into an outlet by itself (do not share
an outlet with other plugs).
Use an unshared 230-V AC (7 A or more*) outlet with an attached ground terminal.
Using the same outlet together with the power plug of other devices can result in abnormal heat
generation and possible fire.
* 220-V AC (7 A or more), 240-V AC (7 A or more), 120-V AC (12 A or more), or 110-V AC (12
A or more)
Secure insert the power plug into the outlet.
Be sure to fully insert the power plug into the outlet until reaching the base of the plug. Failure
to fully insert the plug or similar fault can result in a short circuit or heat generation that causes a
fire.
Be careful of power cord or
plug breakage.
Do not use any power cord or plug that is
damaged, or that fits loosely when
inserted into an outlet. Doing so can
result in electric shock or fire.
Unplug the power plug when
the chair is not in use.
Turn off the power switch and remove the
power plug from the outlet when the chair
is not in use. Unexpected operation can
result in an accident or fire from a short
circuit due to insulation aging.

result in electric shock if there is a
malfunction or short circuit. Consult an
electrician for grounding procedures.

Do not pull the cord to remove the power
plug from the socket. Hold by the power
plug at the end of the cord when
removing. Removing the plug by pulling
the power cord can damage the power
cord, resulting in electric shock or fire.
