1. Note for servicing
Pictogram
This Service Manual uses some pictographs to assure safe operation.
Please understand the meanings of pictographs before servicing.
WARNING: If this WARNING is ignored, serious injury or death
could occur.
CAUTION: If this CAUTION is ignored, an injury or damage to
property could occur.
A. Warning for servicing
1) Be sure to use the rated voltage and the rated current specified on
the rating label. Avoid complex wiring. It may cause a fire.
2) If smoke or abnormal smell occurs, stop servicing and disconnect
the power plug. It may cause a fire.
3) Be sure to set the ground wire. If not, a fire or an electric shock
may occur. The ground wire is required also for protecting the
machine from lightning.
4) If the ground wire is connected to the following places, an explosion, fire, or electric shock could result. Be sure to avoid it.
• Gas pipe
• Lightning conductor
• Water pipe (which is not approved as a ground pipe by the
authority), water faucet
• Ground wire for telephone
5) Do not cut or modify the power cord.
Do not put a weight on the power cord. Do not bend or pull it
extremely. These actions could result in fire.
6) Keep the power cord away from a heater or a heated material.
Remove dust from the power plug. If the power plug with dust on
it should be inserted into the power outlet, it may cause a fire or
an electric shock.
7) Do not put a container with water in it, or a small piece of metal on
the machine. If water or a metal piece would drop inside the
machine, it could cause a fire or an electric shock.
8) When touching the power plug, inserting/removing the telephone
line connector, or operating the machine, be sure to dry and clean
your hands to prevent against an electric shock.
B. Cautions for servicing
