8. Do not give a strong impact to the power con-
verter such as dropping. It may cause malfunc-
tion which results in electric shock.
9. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the operation. If damaged, have
the appliance repaired before use. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained appliances.
10. Always set to an appropriate AC frequency.
Otherwise malfunction may occur and injury result.
11. Do not operate the power converter in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. A small static
charge or spark may ignite the dusts or fumes,
creating a fire or explosion.
12. Do not allow anything to cover or clog the air
vents. Use the power converter where nothing
interfere the air vent. It may cause a malfunction
or fire.
13. Be careful not to trip over the cord during
operation. Put the cord into the cord pocket.
14. Do not use the power converter for medical
equipment. Unexpected malfunction may cause
an accident.
15. To reduce the risk fire, excessive heat, explo-
sion, leak of electrolyte, electric shock, or
injury, observe the following precautions.
— Do not connect the appliance that
exceeds the rated output of the power
converter.
— Do not connect to general AC power grid
directly.
16. Store the power converter indoor, well-venti-
lated, and low humidity place.
17. Keep the power converter out of reach of chil-
dren when storing. Otherwise serious incident
may occur.
18. Do not step on the power converter. Also,
be careful not to give a strong impact to
the power converter when installing it with
MAKPAC or power source. Doing so may cause
malfunction or personal injury.
19. The slot for earthing pin on the AC output has
no voltage and current. This product does not
require earthing of AC appliance because it is not
connected to the general AC power grid.
Safety warnings for battery-
operated appliance
Battery-operated appliance use and
care
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
1.
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to battery pack, picking up or carrying the
appliance. Carrying the appliance with your finger
on the switch or energizing appliance that have
the switch on invites accidents.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the appli-
ance before making any adjustments, chang-
ing accessories, or storing appliance. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the appliance accidentally.
3. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
4. Use appliances only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
5. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
6.
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
7. Do not use a battery pack or appliance that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behaviour
resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
8. Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to
fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
9. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or appliance outside
the temperature range specified in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
10. Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the product is
maintained.
11. Do not modify or attempt to repair the appli-
ance or the battery pack except as indicated in
the instructions for use and care.
Important safety instructions for
battery cartridge
1. Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-
tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery
charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
2. Do not disassemble or tamper with the battery
cartridge. It may result in a fire, excessive heat,
or explosion.
If operating time has become excessively
3.
shorter, stop operating immediately. It may
result in a risk of overheating, possible burns
and even an explosion.
4. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them
out with clear water and seek medical atten-
tion right away. It may result in loss of your
eyesight.
5. Do not short the battery cartridge:
Do not touch the terminals with any con-
(1)
