3 Precautions of Use

NOTE

3-1 Lasers and Infrared Light

■ The machine confirms the safety of its surrounding area by laser.
■ The machine is outfitted with one Class 1 laser.
■ Class 1 laser:
If within a normal range of operation, no hazard exists by looking directly at the laser beam for a long
period, or by using an optical instrument for observation such as a magnifying glass or binoculars to
look directly at the laser beam (compliant with JIS C6802).

3-2 Sensor Detection Range

■ The machine confirms the safety of its surrounding area with several sensors. The machine detects
obstacles in a range of about 200° in front of it; do not go near the machine within the range that is
not detectable by the sensors (behind it, etc.). It may not be able to detect the user as an obstacle.
■ Low obstacles less than 10 cm (4 inches) in height from the floor cannot be avoided with sensor
detection; remove them from the cleaning route beforehand.
Handling the machine
■ The dustbag, brush, battery, HEPA filters, and notification pager are designed
specially for the machine. Do not use other products. Using other products may
cause the machine to malfunction or cause damage to the machine.
■ Do not affix a seal or tape on the sensor or the wheels. Doing so may cause the
sensor to operate improperly, which may cause failure.
Cleaning
■ Use the machine after checking for obstacles in the cleaning route.
For the range detectable by the machine's sensors, see "P22 3-2Sensor
Detection Range".
■ Check that the following are not in the cleaning area. If vacuumed, they may
cause malfunction of the machine or damage or injury to property, individuals or
the machine.
• Waste containing liquid or moisture
• Large amounts of sand, dust; string
• Sharp objects (glass, blades, metal fragments, etc.)
• Objects that air cannot pass through easily (food wrap, plastic; wrapping film,
etc.)
■ Do not operate on the wet floor (with moisture). The machine cannot vacuum
liquid. Doing so may cause failure. Only use the machine on a dry floor.
Battery charger
■ Do not use any other electrical device on the same wall outlet when charging.
Doing so may affect the battery charger due to lowering of the voltage.
■ Do not use the battery charger placed standing or upside down. The battery
charger is specifically for being placed sideways.
■ Make sure the battery charger is where the power plug can connect easily to
an outlet. Also position the battery charger so that its charge indicators can be
checked visually.
