Introduction Notation Method in this Manual 1.1.1 Danger, Warning, Caution, and Note This product is designed to prioritize operator safety. Nevertheless, some risks could not be eliminated, due to product characteristics. In this manual, the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION are used to indicate three levels of seriousness or danger of such risks to humans. -
Page 5: Checking Package Contents
If any items are missing or damaged, contact the distributor where you purchased the product. After unpacking the product, Sibata recommends storing the cushioning materials and boxes for use later when requesting repairs, but if they are discarded, be sure to discard them appropriately in accordance with laws, regulations, regional rules, and local government instructions. - Page 6 Do not plug the power cord into an outlet shared by multiple devices. Doing so could cause an electric shock or fire. Contact the distributor or your Sibata representative before operating the product at a voltage outside the specified range.
- Page 7 Do not insert screws or other foreign objects into the air intake port or exhaust port. If a foreign object accidentally enters a port, immediately switch the power OFF and contact the distributor or your Sibata representative. Keep the product away from sources of noise. Also, do not place it in areas with strong magnetic fields, high dust levels, or high humidity.
- Page 8 Doing so can prevent battery degradation. Note that in the unlikely event a product failure occurs, Sibata accepts no responsibility for paying compensation due to inability to acquire or record sampling results, loss of data or other information, or any other damages directly or indirectly resulting from such losses.
