6. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Page 38
6.1.1 Dangers
Do not wet the instrument.
Wetting any part of the instrument other than those specified in
“Daily Care and Maintenance” or other applicable sections may
cause fire or electric shock due to leak current.
Do not power the instrument if it is not free from
dew condensation.
Powering the instrument with condensation formed may
cause fire or electric shock due to leak current.
Do not bring fire sources close to the instrument.
Do not disassemble or modify the instrument.
The instrument may malfunction or cause an accident.
Do not pinch your hand between gaps in movable
components.
Your hand may be injured when pinched.
Do not operate the switches with wet hands or
connect/disconnect the power plug with wet
hands. Connect/disconnect the power plug by
holding the plug.
Doing so may result in electric shock.
Use only the supplied power cord.
Use of a power cord with inadequate current capacity may cause
electric shock or fire by short circuit. Use the power cord
appropriate to your local current capacity.
Regional safety regulations may require using a
standard power cord designated by statute. If
any other power cord than a PSE-certified or
UL/CSA-approved or European-made power cord
is needed, contact the nearest instrument
distributor.
Connect the power plug to an outlet with a
grounding terminal.
Connect the power plug to a dedicated, D-class grounded power
receptacle. Failure to do so may cause fire or electric shock due
to leak current.
In the event of system malfunction, turn off the
power and then remove the power plug from the
power outlet.
In the event of instrument malfunction, turn off the instrument
power and call Sakura Technical Support Center. Unplugging the
instrument can also turn off the main power supply. If the
instrument malfunctions, remove the power plug from the power
receptacle. At instrument installation, choose such a place as a
wall outlet is not hidden behind the instrument so that you can
quickly unplug the instrument in the event of emergency.
Do not connect to a piggybacked electric outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
Doing so may cause breakdown by low voltage or fire due
to heat generation.
Do not use with incorrect power voltage.
Do not alter power supply components and
cables.
Do not use improper fuses.
Fuses must be replaced by authorized service
personnel.
Contact Sakura Technical Support when
needed.
Unplug the instrument before replacing fuses.
Failure to do so may cause the instrument to overheat or may lead
to electric shock, short circuit, or accidental fire. Check for
working voltage prior to operation of the instrument.
Do not damage the power cord.
Do not cut, break, modify, forcibly bend, twist, or bundle the
power cord. Do not put heavy things on the power cord or store in
a small place. Doing so may damage the power cord, leading to
fire or electric shock.
Do not locate the instrument in a place exposed
to direct sunlight or possibly getting wet with
splashes from rain or snow.
Ultraviolet rays or extreme temperature may cause breakdown.
Operate the instrument in a clean, less humid
place.
The instrument is intended to be operated indoors. Do not use it
outdoors.
Do not use the instrument in a place under
following conditions:
・ A place where it will be subjected to low or high
temperatures (allowable operating range is from 10°C to
40°C).
・ A humid place where condensation can build.
・ A place exposed to a lot of dust, oily smoke or steam.
・ Outdoors.
・ If the instrument needs to be installed in a special place,
contact a Sakura sales representative.
Be sure to open and close the guard bowl or
handle specimens in a safety cabinet.
