This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the equipment by a person responsible for their safety. Any changes or modifications to this equipment could void the product warranty. Refer servicing to qualified Bodyguard Service personnel only.

Do not use any power cords that are damaged or have been pinched or even partially immersed in water; contact your service provider or the manufacturer to have it replaced. • Do not allow use of the equipment by unsupervised children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or people lacking experience or knowledge of the equipment. • Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. • Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
