a safe condition.
GROUND THE INSTRUMENT
To minimize shock hazard, the instrument chassis and cabinet
must be connected to an electrical ground. This instrument is
grounded through the ground conductor of the supplied, three-
conductor ac power cable. The power cable must be plugged into
an approved three-conductor electrical outlet. Do not alter the
ground connection. Without the protective ground connection, all
accessible conductive parts (including control knobs) can render an
electric shock. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable
must meet IEC safety standards.
DO NOT OPERATE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases
or fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an
environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
