This section explains safety precautions about environments where the machine can be used.

• Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not place vases, plant pots, cups, toiletries, medicines, small metal objects, or containers holding water or any other liquids, on or close to this machine. Fire or electric shock could result from spillage or if such objects or substances fall inside this machine.

• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might occur.

• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might occur.

• Do not place heavy objects on the machine. Doing so can cause the machine to topple over, possibly resulting in injury.

• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.

• Keep the machine away from salt-bearing air and corrosive gases. Also, do not install the machine in places where chemical reactions are likely (laboratories, etc.), as doing so will cause the machine to malfunction.

• Do not obstruct the machine's vents. Doing so risks fire caused by overheated internal components.

• Machine sound levels exceeding LWAd > 63 dB (A) are not suitable for desk work environments, so place the machine in another room.

• Keep the machine in an area that is within optimum environmental conditions. Operating the machine in an environment that is outside the recommended ranges of humidity and temperature can cause an electrical fire hazard. Keep the area around the socket free of dust. Accumulated dust can become an electrical fire hazard.

Handling power cords and power plugs
This section explains safety precautions about handling power cords and power plugs.

• Do not use any power sources other than those that match the specifications shown. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not use any frequencies other than those that match the specifications shown. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not use multi-socket adaptors. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not use extension cords. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not use power cords that are damaged, broken, or modified. Also, do not use power cords that have been trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or bent severely. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic constitutes a fire and electric shock hazard.

• The supplied power cord is for use with this machine only. Do not use it with other appliances. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

• It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric shock.

• Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the power cable or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.

• If the power cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.), contact your service representative to change a new one. Operating the machine with a damaged power cord may cause an electric shock or fire.

• Be sure to push the plug of the power cord fully into the wall outlet. Partially inserted plugs create an unstable connection that can result in unsafe buildup of heat.

• If this machine is not going to be used for several days or longer at a time, disconnect its power cord from the wall outlet.

• When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.

• 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.

• When performing maintenance on the machine, always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.

Handling the main machine
This section explains safety precautions about handling the main machine.

• Be sure to locate the machine as close as possible to a wall outlet. This will allow easy disconnection of the power cord in the event of an emergency.
