Incorrect operation may cause injury
WARNING
Important Notes on Scanning
To Ensure Safe Use
Be sure to follow the operation procedures described in this manual.
Failure to follow the procedures may cause
sudden operation or the like of the machine,
which may result in unexpected injury.
Never allow anyone unfamiliar with
the usage or handling of the machine
to touch the machine.
Touching a dangerous location may cause
sudden operation or the like of the machine,
which may lead to an unexpected accident.
Never allow children near the machine.
The machine includes locations and
components that pose a danger to children, and major accident, including injury, blindness, or choking, may occur.
Never touch the tip of the probe. Also,
be sure to attach the probe cover when
the sensor unit is not in use.
The tip of the probe is very sharp, and can
cause injury or blindness.
Do not disassemble, repair, or modify.
Doing so may lead to fire or abnormal operation resulting in injury.
CAUTION
Never attempt to scan any object of
high intrinsic or personal value, or that
would otherwise be difficult to replace
if damaged or broken.
Because scanning involves contact by the
probe, the object scanned may be damaged.
Incorrect settings may also cause the
scanned object to strike areas other than
the probe. Scan-object damage is not covered by warranty.
When loading an object to scan, make
sure that all sides and the top of the
object are within the scannable area.
A scanned object may strike a component
other than the probe and suffer damage.
Scan-object damage is not covered by warranty.
Be sure to remove the probe cover
when performing scanning.
Otherwise the object scanned may strike
the probe cover and suffer damage. Scanobject damage is not covered by warranty.

L'utilisation incorrecte peut causer des blessures
ATTENTION
Remarque importante sur la numérisation (scanning)
Pour utiliser en toute sécurité
S'assurer de suivre les procédures
d'utilisation décrites dans ce manuel.
Si les procédures indiquées ne sont pas
suivies, le fonctionnement de l'appareil peut
être déclenché soudainement, ce qui risque
de causer des blessures.
Ne jamais permettre à quiconque de
toucher l'appareil s'il ou si elle n'en
connaçò pas le fonctionnement ou la
manutention.
Toucher l'appareil à certains points
dangereux peut en déclencher le
fonctionnement, ce qui risque de causer un
accident imprévu.
Ne jamais laisser d'enfants s'approcher
de l'appareil.
Des éléments et des surfaces de l'appareil
présentent des risques pour les enfants. Il
pourrait se produire un accident grave qui
causerait des blessures, ou créerait un risque de cécité ou de suffocation.
Ne jamais toucher l'extrémité de la
sonde. S'assurer de fixer le couvert de
la sonde lorsque le capteur n'est pas
utilisé.
L'extrémité de la sonde est très acérée et
peut causer des blessures ou la cécité.
Ne pas démonter, réparer ni modifier.
Démonter, réparer ou modifier l'appareil risque de provoquer un incendie ou de causer
un fonctionnement anormal entraînant des
blessures.
PRUDENCE
Ne jamais tenter de numériser un
objet de grande valeur monétaire ou
sentimentale, ou un objet qui serait
difficile à remplacer s'il était
endommagé ou brisé.
Les objets numérisés risquent d'être
endommagés parce que la numérisation
exige un contact entre la sonde et l'objet.
En outre, si les réglages sont erronés, l'objet
numérisé peut frapper des points autres que
la sonde. La garantie ne couvre pas les objets
numérisés.
Pendant le chargement d'un objet à
numériser, s'assurer que tous les côtés
et la partie supérieure de l'objet sont
à l'intérieur de la surface numérisable.
Un objet numérisé peut frapper une
composante autre que la sonde et être
endommagé. La garantie ne couvre pas les
objets numérisés.
S'assurer de retirer le couvert de la
sonde pour faire la numérisation.
Sinon, l'objet numérisé peut frapper une
composante autre que la sonde et être
endommagé. La garantie ne couvre pas les
objets numérisés.
