WARNING
Before handling the FlexoFORM scanner, observe the following general safety
precautions related to its magnetic wheels (see "Changing a Magnetic Wheel" on
page 46 for complete details on wheel safety):
• The magnetic fields around the wheels may affect pacemakers, watches, and
other sensitive electronic devices, and anyone relying on such devices must keep
a safe distance away from the wheels to avoid the risk of serious injury or death.
• Magnetic wheels present a risk of finger crushing if fingers are placed between
the wheels and a ferromagnetic surface.
• The wheels may suddenly attract ferromagnetic objects or particles in their
vicinity, which can cause injury, equipment damage, or malfunction.
3. Turn the thumb wheel to open the FlexoFORM scanner, and install the assembled
wedge and probe.
Insert probe and wedge
combination into scanner
opening.
