Power and Ground Connection Cautions
Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated
connector can draw a significant amount of current that can generate heat, and
eventually cause fire if left unattended over an extended period of time.
Always use the power cord provided with your machine. When an extension power cord
is required, always use a properly rated cord.
● 120 V/12 A
If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the machine, or plug may emit
smoke, or become hot to the touch.
Do not attempt to repair, pull, bend, chafe, or otherwise damage the power cord. Do not
place a heavy object on the cord. A damaged cord can cause fire, or electric shocks.
Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
If the power cord is damaged, or insulated wires are exposed, contact your authorized
Panasonic dealer for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause fire, or electric
shocks.
Stop operation immediately if your machine emits smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise
or smell, or if water is spilt onto the machine. These conditions can cause fire.
Immediately switch Off and unplug the machine, and contact your authorized Panasonic
dealer.
Do not disconnect, or reconnect the machine while the power switch is in the On
position. Disconnecting a live connector can cause arcing, consequently deforming the
plug and cause fire.
When disconnecting the machine, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord
forcibly can damage it, and cause fire, or an electric shock.
When the machine is not used over an extended period of time, switch it Off and unplug
it. If an unused machine is left connected to a power source for a long period, degraded
insulation can cause electric shocks, current leakage or fire.
