Inspection of the Ignition Lead
WARNING:
DO NOT TOUCH THE HIGH TENSION LEADS OF THE IGNITOR PLUGS FOR AT LEAST ONE MINUTE AFTER THE APPLICABLE CIRCUIT BREAKERS ARE OPEN. THE ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE OF THE HIGH ENERGY UNIT IS DANGEROUS AND CAN KILL.
WARNING:
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU USE CONSUMABLE MATERIALS. OBEY THE MATERIAL MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS AND YOUR LOCAL REGULATIONS.
CAUTION:
DO NOT BEND THE ELECTRICAL CABLE CONDUIT TOO MUCH WHEN YOU DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR. THE CONDUIT CAN BE DAMAGED AND CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT DEFECTS.
