Safety Precautions (Continued)
When disconnecting the power cord or an in-
terface cable, do not pull on the cord/cable.
• Such action will damage the cord/cable, resulting
in a fire hazard or electrical shock. Be sure to hold
the power cord's plug or the interface cable's
connector.
Prohibited
Do not attempt to lubricate the plotter's mecha-
nisms.
• Such action may cause it to break down.
Prohibited
During a cutting or plotting operation, ensure
that the movement of the media is not impeded
by contact with objects in the plotter's vicinity.
• Such contact could cause misalignment of the cut
or plotted results.
No contact
When using indoor illumination such as a fluores-
cent lamp or a floor lamp, be sure such illumi-
nation is positioned at least one meter away
from the plotter.
• Insufficient distance may cause the sen-
sors to malfunction and prevent correct
detection of the loaded medium.
When using the cutter, beware not to extend the
cutter's blade excessively.
• An excessive blade length will damage
the cutting mat and impair the plotter's
cutting quality.
CAUTION
If water or foreign matter enters inside the
plotter, do not continue using it. Turn off its
power and unplug its power cord from the elec-
trical socket.
• Use of the plotter in such status may result in
electrical shock or a fire hazard due to current
leakage.
• Contact your sales representative or nearest
Graphtec vendor to request repair.
Unplug the power
cord from the socket
Do not clean the plotter using a volatile solvent
(such as thinner or benzine).
• Such action may impair its performance.
If an edge of the loaded medium comes loose,
secure it with drafting tape or a similar means.
• The cutter's blade will break if its tip gets caught
on a loose edge of the medium.
Before cutting a medium when you are uncer-
tain of its optimum cutting conditions, run a test
cut in advance.
• A cutting operation based on unsuitably
specified cutting conditions will place a
heavy load on the blade and plotter,
causing the blade to break or the plotter
to break down.
