Requirements for Using Power Plugs and Cords
WARNING
• Avoid taking the following actions because doing so can result in fire or
electric shock:
• Using any power supply voltage or frequencies other than those that
match the specifications shown
• Using multi-socket adaptors
• Using extension cords
• Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic
• Avoid applying the following actions to power cords because doing so can
result in fire or electric shock:
• Damaging them
• Bundling them
• Modifying them
• Putting heavy objects on them
• Pulling them forcibly
• Bending them forcibly
• Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so can result in
electric shock.
• The supplied power cord or cords are for use with this machine only. They
cannot be used for appliances other than this machine. Also, do not use
power cords other than the power cord or cords supplied with this machine.
Doing so can result in fire or electric shock.
• To prevent fire or electric shock, disconnect the plug and the power cord from
the wall outlet at least once a year and check them. If any of the following
conditions exist, do not use the plug and the power cord continuously, and
consult your dealer or service representative.
• There are burn marks on the plug
• The prongs on the plug are deformed
• The power cord's inner wires are exposed or broken
• The power cord's coating is cracked, dented, or damaged
• When the power cord is bent, the power turns off and on
• Part of the power cord becomes hot
CAUTION
• When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, make sure to pull the
plug, not the cord. Do not pull the power cord forcibly. Doing so can damage
the power cord, possibly resulting in fire or electric shock.
CAUTION
• Be sure to push the power cord plug fully into the wall outlet. Also, do not
push it into loose and unstable wall outlets likely to cause a contact failure.
Doing so can result in heat generation.
• Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and
the area around the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on
the plug constitutes a fire hazard.
• If you do not use the machine for a long period of time such as consecutive
holidays, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet for
reasons of safety.
• When performing maintenance on the machine, disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet for safety.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only No.26 AWG or larger telecommunication
line cord.
• Power Source
208–240 V, 16 A or more, 60 Hz
Please be sure to connect the power cord to a power source as above.
Requirements during Emergencies
WARNING
• Do not touch this machine if a lightning strike occurs in the immediate vicinity.
Doing so could result in electric shock.
• Be sure to install the machine as close as possible to a wall outlet so that you
can disconnect the power cord plug easily in an emergency.
• If the machine behaves unusually as follows, turn off the power immediately.
After turning off the power, make sure to disconnect the power cord plug
from the wall outlet, and then contact your service representative and report
the problem. Continuously using the power cord can result in fire or electric
shock.
