2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not leave appliance unattended while in use.

3. Never look directly into the projector lens when the lamp is on. The metal halide lamp produces a strong light which could damage your eyesight.

4. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.

5. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged — until it has been examined by a qualified service technician.

6. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled or contact hot surfaces.

7. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with an earth/ground and a current rating at least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.

8. Always unplug appliance from electrical outlet before cleaning and servicing and when not in use. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquids.

10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance, but take it to a qualified technician when service or repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.

11. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

12. Connect this appliance to a grounded outlet.

13. This unit is equipped with optical lenses and should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

14. Keep ventilation openings free of any obstructions.

15. Use caution not to pinch fingers when folding projector into closed position.
