For Your Safety

WARNING
CAUTION
This section also explains the graphic symbols used in this Operating Instructions manual.
Power and Ground Connection
Cautions
Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust.
In a damp environment, a contaminated
connector can draw a significant amount of
current that can generate heat and eventually
cause fire if left unattended over an extended
period of time.
Always use the power cord provided with your
machine. If you use a cord with an unspecified
current rating, the machine, or plug may emit
smoke, or become hot to the touch.
Do not attempt to repair, pull, bend, chafe, or
otherwise damage the power cord. Do not place a
heavy object on the cord. A damaged cord can
cause fire, or electric shocks.
Never touch a power cord with wet hands.
Danger of electric shock exists.
If the power cord is broken, or insulated wires are
exposed, contact the authorised Panasonic dealer
for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can
cause fire, or electric shocks.
When disconnecting the machine, grasp the
plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord
forcibly can damage it and cause fire, or
electric shock.

Denotes hazards that could result in minor injury, or damage to the machine.

WARNING
Stop operation immediately if your machine
emits smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise or
smell, or if water is spilt onto the machine.
These conditions can cause fire. Immediately
switch Off and unplug the machine and contact
the authorised Panasonic dealer.
Do not disconnect, or reconnect the machine
while the power switch is in the On position.
Disconnecting a live connector can cause
arcing, consequently deforming the plug and
cause fire.
When the machine is not used over an
extended period of time, switch it Off and
unplug it. If an unused machine is left
connected to a power source for a long period,
degraded insulation can cause electric shocks,
current leakage or fire.
Be sure to switch Off and unplug the machine
before accessing the interior of the machine for
cleaning, maintenance or fault clearance.
Access to a live machine's interior can cause
electric shock.
Once a month, unplug the machine and check
the power cord for the following. If you notice
any unusual condition, contact the authorised
Panasonic dealer.
The power cord is plugged firmly into the
receptacle.
The plug is not excessively heated, rusted,
or bent.
The plug and receptacle are free of dust.
The cord is not cracked or frayed.
