Installation Precautions WARNING • Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple connections to one outlet: they may cause fire or electric shock.
• Always handle the machine by the correct locations when moving it..• Always use anti-toppling and locking devices on copiers so equipped. Failure to do this may cause the copier to move unexpectedly or topple, leading to injury................•...
Page 8
• Check that the power cable covering is free of damage. Check that the power plug is dust-free. If it is dirty, clean it to remove the risk of fire or electric shock..................• Never attempt to disassemble the optical unit in machines using lasers. Leaking laser light may damage eyesight.
Page 9
• After maintenance, always check that all the parts, screws, connectors and wires that were removed, have been refitted correctly. Special attention should be paid to any forgotten connector, trapped wire and missing screws..................• Check that all the caution labels that should be present on the machine according to the instruction handbook are clean and not peeling.
