tric shock.
5. Periodically check the electrical chord of your Optimus-46i for any visible sign of dam-
age and avoid using it when it is present.

and disengage the appropriate pins.
7. Do not punch more than 20 sheets of 20lb. paper when punching. Preferably, punch no
more than 12-15 sheets at a time to help extend the life of your Optimus-46i.
