2. Heed all warnings.
3. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
WARNING: Do not use this product in location that can be
submerged by water.
WARNING: Avoid using this product during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.
Electrical Safety Information
1. Compliance is required with respect to voltage, frequency, and
current requirements indicated on the manufacturer’s label.
Connection to a different power source than those specified
may result in improper operation, damage to the equipment or
pose a fire hazard if the limitations are not followed.
2. There are no operator serviceable parts inside this equipment.
Service should be provided only by a qualified service
technician.
3. This equipment is provided with a detachable power cord
which has an integral safety ground wire intended for
connection to a grounded safety outlet.
a. Do not substitute the power cord with one that is not the
provided approved type. Never use an adapter plug to
connect to a 2-wire outlet as this will defeat the continuity
of the grounding wire.
b. The equipment requires the use of the ground wire as a
part of the safety certification, modification or misuse can
provide a shock hazard that can result in serious injury or
death.
c. Contact a qualified electrician or the manufacturer if there
are questions about the installation prior to connecting the
equipment.
