Modification or removal of a safety device (fuse, switch, etc.) could lead to a
fire and personal injury. Always test the operation of the machine to ensure
that it is operating normally and safely after removal and replacement of any
safety device.
For replacements use only the correct fuses or circuit breakers rated for use
with the machine. Using replacement devices not designed for use with the
machine could lead to a fire and personal injuries.
Organic Cleaners
During preventive maintenance, never use any organic cleaners (alcohol, etc.)
other than those described in the service manual.
Make sure the room is well ventilated before using any organic cleaner. Use
organic solvents in small amounts to avoid breathing the fumes and becoming
nauseous.
Switch the machine off, unplug it, and allow it to cool before doing preventive
maintenance. To avoid fire or explosion, never use an organic cleaner near
any part that generates heat.
Wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning parts with an organic cleaner to
contamination of food, drinks, etc. which could cause illness.
Clean the floor completely after accidental spillage of silicone oil or other
materials to prevent slippery surfaces that could cause accidents leading to
hand or leg injuries. Use "My Ace" Silicone Oil Remover (or dry rags) to soak
up spills. For more details, please refer to Technical Bulletin "Silicone Oil
Removal" (A024-50).
Power Plug and Power Cord
Before serving the machine (especially when responding to a service call),
always make sure that the power plug has been inserted completely into the
power source. A partially inserted plug could lead to heat generation (due to a
power surge caused by high resistance) and cause a fire or other problems.
Always check the power plug and make sure that it is free of dust and lint.
Clean it if necessary. A dirty plug can generate heat which could cause a fire.
Inspect the length of the power cord for cuts or other damage. Replace the
power cord if necessary. A frayed or otherwise damaged power cord can
cause a short circuit which could lead to a fire or personal injury from electrical
shock.
