Safety Information
WARNING
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 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/15 A
If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the machine or plug may emit smoke or become hot to the
touch externally.
Do not attempt to rework, 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 broken, or insulated wires are exposed, contact your Service Provider for a replacement.
Using a damaged cord can cause fire, or electric shocks.
Stop operation immediately if your machine produces 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. Forcibly pulling on a cord forcibly can
damage it, and cause fire, or 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.
Be sure to switch Off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for cleaning,
maintenance or fault clearance. Access to a live machine’s interior can cause electric shock.
Be sure to switch Off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for accessing
interface cables, maintenance or fault clearance. Access to a live machine’s interior can cause electric shock.
