Hitachi HS-HSM 1E/BS Important Safety Information
SOME DO'S AND DON'TS ON THE SAFE
USE OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
FOR USERS WITHIN THE UNITED KINGDOM
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to
meet international safety standards but, like any
electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to
obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt
to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the
mains plug, extension leads and interconnections
between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making
or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about
the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on the
equipment.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in
any doubt about it working normally, or if it is
damaged in any way-switch off, withdraw the mains
plug and consult your dealer.
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose
dangerous voltages.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is
designed for unattended operation or has a standby
mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment
and make sure that your family knows how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm
or handicapped people.
The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied
with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of
which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should
the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI
approved BS1362 fuse must be used of the same
rating.
If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with
the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is
required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible
on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available
from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment.
If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in
your home or the cable is too short to reach a power
point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved
extension lead or consult your dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this
must be carried out by a competent person, preferably
a qualified electrician.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug,
ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having first
removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by
inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
IMPORTANT
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code:
Blue: NEUTRAL
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos, which
may distract you from the requirements of traffic
safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such
use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, e.g.
with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will
cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with
wood screws. To ensure complete safety always fit the
manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings
provided according to the instructions.
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to
rain or moisture and ensure that no objects filled with
liquids - such as vases - are placed on the equipment.
ABOVE ALL
NEVER let anyone especially children push anything
into holes, slots or any other opening in the case - this
could result in a fatal electrical shock.
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical
equipment of any kind. Better be safe than sorry!
Brown: LIVE
As these colours may not correspond to the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or
BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or
coloured BROWN or RED.
On no account connect either of these wires to the
terminal marked E, or coloured green or green and
yellow, or marked by the earth symbol
Alternatively, this equipment may be supplied with a
rewireable plug already fitted, which may be removed
if not suitable and an alternative fitted in accordance
with the preceding instructions.
