The lightning flash with an arrow triangular
symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of non insulated “dangerous volt-

may be of sufficient magnitude to consti-
tute a risk of electric shock.
The exclamation point triangular symbol is
intended to alert the user to the presence
of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the user manual
