Power Cord Safety:
• Use only the power cord supplied with this product.
• DO NOT allow anything to rest on the power cord.
• DO NOT place the machine where people can walk on the cord.
• DO NOT place the machine in a position where the cord is stretched or strain is
otherwise put on the cord, as it may become worn or frayed.
• DO NOT use the machine or handle the cord if the cord has become worn or frayed.
If unplugging the machine, DO NOT touch the damaged/frayed part.
• Brother strongly recommends that you DO NOT use any type of extension cord.
AC Adapter Safety
Only use the supplied AC adapter with the unit. Only plug the AC adapter into a power
outlet with voltage that is within the range indicated on Specifications in the User's
Guide. Failure to do so may result in injury to yourself or others, or damage to the
machine or other property. Brother does not assume any responsibility for any
damage resulting from using an AC adapter other than the one specified.
DO NOT use a damaged AC adapter.
DO NOT place heavy objects on, damage, or modify the AC adapter.
DO NOT forcibly bend the cord of the AC adapter.
DO NOT forcibly pull the cord of the AC adapter.
DO NOT drop, hit, or otherwise damage the AC adapter.
DO NOT use or touch the unit during a thunderstorm when the AC adapter is plugged
in. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning when the machine is
used during a thunderstorm.
When disconnecting the AC adapter from the machine or from the power outlet,
always hold the connector, not the cable, and pull firmly. Failure to do so may result in
exposed or broken power cord wires and/or create a risk of fire, or electric shock.
Make sure that one end of the power cord is firmly plugged into a standard power
outlet and the other end is firmly plugged into the adapter block. Do not use an outlet
that is loose. If the power cord is not completely plugged into the power outlet and
adapter block, the adapter may become hot and/or catch fire.
