Safety Precautions
Please read the safety warnings and cautions prov ided in this manual to ensure that you use the 
machine safely. Do not attempt to use the mach ine in any way not described in this manual.
Warning
You may cause an electric shock, fire, or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety 
precautions.
Choosing a locationDo not place the machine close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners.
Power supply Never attempt to plug in or unplug the machine from the power supply when your hands are wet.
Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet.
Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist 
the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the power 
cord.
Never plug the machine into a power socket that is shared 
with other equipment (extension lead/cord, 2- or 3-way

If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the machine, immediately unplug 
the machine at the power supply and call for service.
Periodically, unplug the machine and use a dry cloth to wipe 
off any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the power outlet. 
If the machine is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust, 
smoke, or high humidity, the dust collected on the plug 
absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.
If you hear thunder, disconnect the power supply of the machine and refrain from using it. Leaving 
the machine plugged in may cause fire, electric shock, or damage to the machine, depending on 
the thunder storm.
Cleaning the machine Use a damp cloth to clean the machine. Never use 
flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners.
If flammable solvents come in contact with electrical 
components inside the machine, it could cause a fire or 
electric shock.
