conditions. Read all operating instructions prior to operating the

Never attempt to reach into the SPIRIT while the power is on. Turn off
the SPIRIT and disconnect the power cord before cleaning or servicing
the SPIRIT, and before removing either fold plate. Injury may occur if
proper operating procedure is not followed.

 Plug the power cord into 115 VAC 60 Hz outlet only. Voltage up to

120 volts will not damage the SPIRIT.

disconnection.

 This unit is equipped with a 3-Wire grounded electrical cord. If the cord

becomes damaged and needs to be replaced, it must be replaced with
an authorized part available through the manufacturer or an authorized

authorized service personnel using factory authorized replacement
parts. Contact PTM Document Systems for more information.

 Keep product away from extreme heat & moisture.
 Never operate SPIRIT while tired, drowsy, or under the influence of

medication, drugs, or alcohol. Failure to do so can result in personal
injury.

 Never operate unit with loose clothing or jewelry. Contain all long hair

and neck ties prior to operating SPIRIT. Failure to do so could result in
clothing, jewelry, or hair becoming entangled in moving parts.
