Always hold the plug firmly and make sure your
hands are dry when plugging in or unplugging the
AC power cord. Regularly remove dust, dirt, etc.

electrical shock, fire or personal injury:
- Keep power cord away from heating appliances
and walking traffic. Do not rest heavy objects on,
or roll such objects over the power cord.
- Do not tamper with the cord in any way.
- An extension cord should have the same type
plug (polarized or grounding) and must be
securely connected.
- Overloaded wall outlets or extension cords is a
fire hazard.
- Frayed cords, damaged plugs, and damaged or
cracked wire insulation are hazardous'and should
be replaced by a qualified electrician.
