the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
19. This apparatus is for professional and commercial use only.
20. This lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of non-insulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover
(or back) as there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important operating and mainte-
nance instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
21. The apparatus should be connected to a mains socket outlet
with a protective earthing connection.
