Security directives

Before turning on your device, check that the outlet that you are going to plug it into conforms to the indications shown
on the information plate (voltage, current, power network frequency) located on your device. This device shall be
connected to a single phase power network. The device shall not be installed on bare ground.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries, packaging and electric and electronic equipment (EEE), shall be thrown away,
as specified by the Instructions of the ENVIRONMENT chapter of this manual.
Because of the device model, the power connector is the only way to disconnecting the device from the power network,
that is why it is imperative to apply the following safety measures: your device shall be connected to a power outlet
located nearby. The outlet shall be easily accessible.
Your device is delivered with a grounded power cord. It is imperative to connect a grounded connector to a grounded
outlet connected to the building earthing.
For installation conditions and safe use precautions, refer to chapter Installation, page 9.

Laser safety

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in the
CAUTION
Operating Instructions might result in hazardous radiation exposure.

For Europe/Asia

This machine is considered a class 1 laser device, safe for office/EDP use. The machine contains 1 class 3B laser
diode, 10.72 milliwatt, 760-780 nanometer wavelength for each emitter.
Direct (or indirect reflected ) eye contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and
interlock mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
The following label is attached on the rear side of the machine.
Repairs-maintenance: Repairs and maintenance should only be carried out by a
qualified technician. No user serviceable parts inside the machine. To reduce the risk
of electrical shock, you shall not proceed with these operations yourself, because by
opening or removing the lids, you could expose yourself to two hazards:
- The laser beam can cause irreversible eye damage.
- Avoid contact with powered parts because it can lead to electrical shock with
unfortunate consequences.
