IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present,
certain basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:

DANGER —As with most electrical appliances, electrical parts
are electrically live even when the switch is off. To reduce the risk
of injury or death by electric shock:
1. KEEP THIS APPLIANCE AWAY FROM WATER.
2. Do not immerse the transformers in water or other liquid.
3. Do not use while bathing.
4. Do not place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled
into bathtub or sink. If the appliance falls into water, UNPLUG
IT IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT REACH INTO THE WATER TO
RETRIEVE IT WHILE IT IS STILL PLUGGED IN. DO NOT USE
THE UNIT IF IT HAS BEEN IMMERSED IN WATER.
5. Always unplug this appliance immediately after use.
WARNING —To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury:
1. Do not leave unattended when connected to electrical outlet.
2. Always disconnect the transformer from the electrical outlet imme-
diately after use or before cleaning. Never yank the cord to discon-
nect from outlet; instead, grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

sembly can cause risk of electric shock when the transform-
er is used.

you have a secure grip on the transformer case or handle.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2. Be sure the ON/OFF power switch is in the “OFF” position
before plugging (or unplugging) the power cord into a 120
VAC power source.
3. Be sure your 220/240 VAC appliance ON/OFF switch is in the
“OFF” position.
4. Plug your 220/240 VAC appliance into the receptacle. See
Fig. 1C. Be sure the appliance plug is fully inserted into the
receptacle.
5. Turn the ON/OFF power switch to the “ON” position. You are
now ready to operate your 220/240 VAC appliance.
NOTE: Due to the constant reversing of the AC current flowing
through it this transformer may produce an audible hum when turned
on. This is normal and will not harm the transformer or any appliance
plugged into it.
