Environments Where the Machine Can Be Used

This section explains safety precautions about environments where the machine can be used.

• Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Also, avoid placing these
items in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not place vases, plant pots, cups, toiletries, medicines, small metal objects, or containers
holding water or any other liquids, on or close to this machine. Fire or electric shock could result
from spillage or if such objects or substances fall inside this machine.

• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might
occur.

• Do not place any objects on the machine. Doing so may cause the machine to topple over,
possibly resulting in injury.

• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might
occur.

• Keep the machine away from salt-bearing air and corrosive gases. Also, do not install the
machine in places where chemical reactions are likely (laboratories, etc.), as doing so will
cause the machine to malfunction.

• Do not place the machine or use it in an environment where it might get wet such as from snow,
rain, or being near water. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• Install the machine securely. If the machine falls over, it might become damaged and an injury
might occur.

• Do not place or store the machine in a location where direct sunlight or heat generation might
occur. The heat may deform or wear out the exterior parts or negatively affect internal parts.
Doing so could result in fire.

1. Safety Information

8

• Do not obstruct the machine's air inlet or outlet. Doing so risks fire caused by overheated internal
components or resulting in damage to the product.

• Do not set the machine or accessories in a location exposed to excessive shaking. Doing so may
cause an injury or accident. If an internal component is damaged by shaking, it may cause a fire
or product failure.

Handling Power Cords and Power Cord Plugs

This section explains safety precautions about handling power cords and power cord plugs.

Notes for users in North America

• Connect the supplied 120 V cable to the 120 V power supply.

Notes for users in EU and other areas

• Connect the supplied 220 – 240 V cable to the 220 – 240 V power supply.

Notes for users in Taiwan

• Connect the supplied 110 V cable to the 110 V power supply.

• Do not use any frequencies other than those that match the specifications shown. Doing so could
result in fire or electric shock.

• Avoid using an extension cord or power strip when possible. Doing so could result in fire or
electric shock.

• If for some reason you must use an extension cord or power strip, make sure the total power
consumption of the connected devices does not exceed the power rating of the extension cord or
power strip. If the total power consumption exceeds the specified power rating, the connected
devices might become damaged or cause a fire.

• Do not use power cords that are damaged, broken, or modified. Also, do not use power cords
that have been trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or bent severely. Doing so could
result in fire or electric shock.

Safety Precautions to Be Followed

9

• Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic constitutes a fire and
electric shock hazard.

• The supplied power cord is for use with this machine only. Do not use it with other appliances.
Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric
shock.

• If the power cord is damaged and its inner wires are exposed or broken, contact your service
representative for a replacement. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric
shock.

• Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet at least once a year and check for the
following:

• There are burn marks on the plug.

• The prongs on the plug are deformed.

• If any of the above conditions exist, do not use the plug and consult your dealer or service
representative. Use of the plug could result in fire or electric shock.

• Be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet at least once a year and check for the
following:

• The power cord's inner wires are exposed, broken, etc.

• The power cord's coating has a crack or dent.

• When bending the power cord, the power turns off and on.

• Part of the power cord becomes hot.

• The power cord is damaged.

• If any of the above conditions exist, do not use the power cord and consult your dealer or
service representative. Use of the power cord could result in fire or electric shock.

• Be sure to push the plug of the power cord fully into the wall outlet. Partially inserted plugs
create an unstable connection that can result in unsafe buildup of heat.

• If this machine is not going to be used for several days or longer at a time, disconnect its power
cord from the wall outlet.

1. Safety Information

• When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord.
Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire
or electric shock.

• Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around
the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.

• When performing maintenance on the machine, always disconnect the power cord from the
wall outlet.
