• Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around the
prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.
Handling the main machine
This section explains safety precautions about handling the main machine.
• Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if any of the
following occurs:
• You spill something into the machine.
• You suspect that your machine needs service or repair.
• The external housing of your machine has been damaged.
• Do not turn the earth leakage breaker from the off to the on position. Otherwise it might lead to
an electric shock, fire or smoke, or cause the circuit breakers to trip.
• Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the
machine, you should take care that the power cord will not be damaged under the machine.
• After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Otherwise the machine might
move or come down to cause an injury.
• Contact your service representative if you need to lift the machine (such as when relocating it to
another floor). Do not attempt to lift the machine without the assistance of your service
representative. The machine will be damaged if it topples or is dropped, resulting in malfunction
and risk of injury to users.
