WARNING
Hand injuries
If the scanner is accidentally switched on, the mirrors might
start to turn. Before starting any cleaning activity:
• shut down the laser scanner module and remove the
battery pack.
• when using an external power supply, remove the power
line.
This will prevent the mirror from turning during the cleaning
work.
