Safety Precautions

This lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an
equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage
within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle
is intended to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance.

CAUTION:

This unit employs a Laser System.

To ensure proper use of this product, please read this owner’s
manual carefully and retain for future reference, should the unit
require maintenance, contact an authorized service location­see service procedure.

Use of controls, adjustments or the performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous

Most appliances recommend they be placed upon a dedi­cated circuit;

That is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appliance
and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the
specification page of this owner's manual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or
damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or
damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of
these conditions could result in electric shock or fire.
Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, dis­continue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with
an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse,
such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and
the point where the cord exits the appliance.
