WARNING:
Do not incinerate toner (new or used) or toner containers. Doing so risks
•
burns. Toner will ignite on contact with naked flame.
•
Do not store toner (new or used) or toner containers anywhere near naked
flames. Doing so risks fire and burns. Toner will ignite on contact with naked
flame.
•
Do not use a vacuum cleaner to remove spilled toner (including used toner). Absorbed toner may cause a fire or explosion due to electrical contact
flickering inside the vacuum cleaner.
However, it is possible to use a vacuum cleaner that is explosion-proof and
dust ignition-proof. If toner is spilled on the floor, remove the spilled toner
slowly using a wet cloth, so that the toner is not scattered.
The following explains the warning messages on the plastic bag used in
•
this product’s packaging.
Keep the polythene materials (bags, gloves, etc.) supplied with this ma-
•
chine away from babies and small children at all times. Suffocation can
result if polythene materials are brought into contact with the mouth or
nose.
R
CAUTION:
Do not crush or squeeze toner containers. Doing so can cause toner spill-
•
age, possibly resulting in dirtying of skin, clothing, and floor, and accidental
ingestion.
•
Store toner (new or used), toner containers, and components that have been
in contact with toner out of reach of children.
•
If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a
fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.
•
If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large
amounts of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
•
If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of
water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new
•
or used) on your clothing. If toner comes into contact with your clothing,
wash the stained area with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the
fabric and make removing the stain impossible.
