IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Please read through this entire manual and retain it for future reference.
To prevent possible personal injury and/or equipment damage, the following basic
precautions should always be observed:
Do: Ensure your DISC-GO-ROBOTO is installed in a safe and suitable
location:
indoors, on a flat level surface at least 24”x24” (61cm x 61cm) in size
away from heat sources such as gas or electric heaters
protected from exposure to water or moisture
provided with its own grounded electrical circuit
Do: Use close supervision if this machine is to be operated near children.
Do: Unplug your DISC-GO-ROBOTO from the AC outlet when not in use
and before changing consumable supplies (i.e. cartridge, pads).
Do: Avoid contact with moving parts.
Do not use this equipment for other than its intended purpose. The use of
attachments, supplies or accessory equipment not recommended or
sold by Disc Go Technologies Inc. may cause equipment damage
and/or personal injury and will void the warranty for the unit.
Do not use with a damaged cord or plug. If your DISC-GO-ROBOTO is not
working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or
otherwise exposed to water, contact our Customer Service Department
for service support information.
Do not install or operate your DISC-GO-ROBOTO in an environment containing
flammable or explosive gas!
Do not allow objects to penetrate into the machine through the fan grating or
other exterior openings.
Do not move your DISC-GO-ROBOTO while the lid is open – damage or injury
may result if the lid should fall.
Do not move your DISC-GO-ROBOTO with a Cartridge installed! If the machine
is inadvertently tipped, polish may leak from the cartridge.
