8  Safety Notes
Stop operation immediately if your machine 
produces smoke, excessive heat, unusual 
noise, or smell, or if water is spilt onto the 
machine.  These conditions can cause fire.  
Immediately switch off and unplug the 
machine, and contact our Customer 
Support Center or your dealers.
To prevent fire or electric shock, connect 
the machine to an outlet that has the 
correct rating and correct grounding. If in 
doubt, contact our Customer Support 
Center or your dealers.
If the power cord is broken or insulated 
wires are exposed, ask our Customer 
Support Center or your dealers for a 
replacement.  Using a damaged cord can 
cause fire or electric shock.
Do not unplug or replug the machine while 
it is on.  Unplugging a live connector can 
deform the plug and cause fire.
When unplugging the machine, grasp the 
plug instead of the cord.  Forcibly pulling on 
a cord can damage it and cause fire or 
electric shock.
Be sure to switch off and unplug the 
machine before accessing the interior of 
the machine for cleaning, maintenance, or 
fault clearance.  Access to a live machine’s 
interior can cause electric shock.
When the machine is not used over an 
extended period of time, switch it off and 
unplug it.  If an unused machine is left 
connected to a power source for a long 
period, degraded insulation can cause 
electric shock, current leakage, or fire.
Once a month, unplug the machine and 
check the power cord for the following:
• The power cord is plugged firmly into a 
receptacle.
• The plug is not excessively heated, 
rusted, or bent.
• The plug and receptacle are free of dust.
• The cord is not cracked or frayed.
If you notice any unusual conditions, 
contact our Customer Support Center or 
your dealers.
Switch off the machine before connecting 
the interface cable or optional product. 
Connecting the cable or optional product 
with a live machine can cause electric 
shock.
For Machine Operation
Do not place any liquid container such as a 
vase or coffee cup on the machine.  Spilt 
water can cause fire or electric shock.
Do not place any metal parts such as 
staples or clips on the machine.  If metal 
and flammable parts get into the machine, 
they can short-circuit internal components, 
and cause fire or electric shock.
If debris (metal or liquid) gets into the 
machine, switch off and unplug the 
machine.  Contact our Customer Support 
Center or your dealers. Operating a 
debris-contaminated machine can cause 
fire or electric shock.
Never open or remove machine covers that 
are secured with screws unless specifically 
instructed in the manual. A high voltage 
component can cause electric shock.
Do not try to alter the machine 
configuration, or modify any parts.  An 
unauthorized modification can cause 
smoke or fire.
This equipment is certified as a Class 1 
laser product under IEC60825-1 (Class 1). 
This means that the machine does not emit 
hazardous laser radiation. Since radiation 
emitted inside the machine is completely 
confined within the protective housings and 
external covers, the laser beam cannot 
escape from the machine during any phase 
of user operation. Do not perform any 
operation apart from the instructions given 
in the manual. There may be a danger of 
laser beam leakage.
