6.  Carts  and  stands.  Use  only  with  a  cart  or  stand  that  is  recommended  by  the 

manufacturer. 
An  appliance  and  card  cart  combination  should  be  used  with  care.  Quick  stops, 
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to 
overturn. 

7.  Ventilation. Site the appliance so that its location or position does not interfere with its 

proper ventilation. 

8.  Heat. Site the appliance away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves, or 

other appliances (including amplifier) that produce heat. 

9.  Power sources. Connect the appliance to a power supply only of the type described in 

the operating instructions or marked on the appliance. 

10. Grounding  and  polarization.  Do  not  defeat  the  safety  purpose  of  the  polarized  or 

grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A 
grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the 
third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your 
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 

11. Power cord protection. Route power cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or 

pinched  by  items  placed  upon  or  against  them,  paying  particular  attention  to  cords  at 
plugs, power sockets, and at the point where they exit from appliance.
