Do not use a damaged power cable, connecting cable or plug. A damaged cable or a plug can cause electric shock, short circuits and fire. If any part needs to be repaired, consult Unitek Miyachi Lasers. or your distributor. Use only specified cables.
Page 7
If the cable is pulled to disconnect the plug, it may be broken, and that can cause electric shock and fire. When leaving the laser marker unused for a long time, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. Deterioration of insulation can cause electric shock, leakage and fire.
