General and Personal Safety Precautions

[PERSONAL SAFETY]
For personal safety, observe the following general precautions:
A second person should be available to disable the system in an emergency.
Wear appropriate protectIIIe gear that fits comfortably.
Do not wear loose-fitting clothes. If you are wearing a long-sleeved shirt, fold the
cuffs up your arm.
Never wear gloves close to moving parts.
Necklaces, ties and scarves should be tucked inside shirts.
Long hair should be covered.
[ELECTRICAL TOOL SAFETY]
When using Electrical Tools make sure to:
Use tools that are in good operating order. Any tool that appears electrically or
Mechanically faulty must be labeled and sent immediately for repair.
Make sure that you are electrically insulated when using electrical tools. Wear
rubber-soled shoes and stand on a dry surface.
If, during the use of electrical equipment, you feel an electrical discharge (e.g. a
tickling sensation on your skin) immediately stop using that tool. Label it, and send it for
repair.
[GENERAL SITE SAFETY REQUIREMEN TS]
Fire extinguishers must be in working order and within easy reach.
The main power supply switch must be easily accessible.
The system site must be suitably illuminated from all sides.
Before operation, carefully read the warning labels on your Cutting plotter unit as
well as the cautions and warnings in this manual.
Connect the Cutting plotter to a properly grounded power outlet. Make sure the
voltage level of the Cutting plotter matches that of the power source.
Don't dissemble the unit while system power is on since the power supplies inside
contain high voltage.
Never leave the machine unattended during operation.
Follow the instructions on maintaining and cleaning your system. Not only will this
enable you to utilize your machine efficiently, but it will also ensure that your
machine runs safely.
