Always start to remove dust or liquid droplet contamination on mirror or sensor

While using the duster spray, please ensure that you do not shake the bottle or
turn it overheads.

WARNING
Hand injuries
If the scanner is accidentally switched on, the mirrors might
start to turn. Hence, 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.
