CAUTION
1.Precautions for Service Jobs
 A toothed washer and spring washer, if used originally, 
must be reinstalled. Omitting them may result in contact 
failure which could cause an electric shock or fire.
 When reassembling parts, make sure that the correct 
screws (size, type) are used in the correct places. Using the 
wrong screw could lead to stripped threads, poorly secured 
parts, poor insulating or grounding, and result in a 
malfunction, electric shock or injury.
 Take great care to avoid personal injury from possible burrs 
and sharp edges on the parts, frames and chassis of the 
product.
 When moving the product or removing an option, use care 
not to injure your back or allow your hands to be caught in 
mechanisms.
2.Precautions for Servicing with Covers and Parts Removed
 Wherever feasible, keep all parts and covers mounted when 
energizing the product.
 If energizing the product with a cover removed is absolutely 
unavoidable, do not touch any exposed live parts and use 
care not to allow your clothing to be caught in the moving 
parts. Never leave a product in this condition unattended.
 Never place disassembled parts or a container of liquid on 
the product. Parts falling into, or the liquid spilling inside, the 
mechanism could result in an electric shock or fire.
 Never use a flammable spray near the product. This could 
result in a fire.
 Make sure the power cord is unplugged before removing or 
installing circuit boards or plugging in or unplugging 
connectors.
 Always use the interlock switch actuating jig to actuate an 
interlock switch when a cover is opened or removed. The 
use of folded paper or some other object may damage the 
interlock switch mechanism, possibly resulting in an electric 
shock, injury or blindness.

3.Precautions for the Working Environment
 The product must be placed on a flat, level surface that is 
stable and secure.
 Never place this product or its parts on an unsteady or tilting 
workbench when servicing.
 Provide good ventilation at regular intervals if a service job 
must be done in a confined space for a long period of time.
 Avoid dusty locations and places exposed to oil or steam.
 Avoid working positions that may block the ventilation ports 
of the product.
4.Precautions for Handling Batteries 
(Lithium, Nickel-Cadmium, etc.)
 Replace a rundown battery with the same type as specified 
in the manufacturer's parts manual.
 Before installing a new battery, make sure of the correct 
polarity of the installation or the battery could burst.
 Dispose of used batteries according to the local regulations. 
Never dispose of them at the user's premises or attempt to 
try to discharge one.
