Page 8: Usage Precautions
To Ensure Safe Use Usage Precautions l In the event of abnormal conditions • In the event of abnormal conditions such as smoke or unusual odor, turn off the main power immediately and turn off the breaker. Continuing to use the machine under these conditions may result in failure, electric shock, or fire.
Page 9: Power Supply Precautions
To Ensure Safe Use l Power supply precautions • Do not damage or modify the power cable. Do not place heavy objects on, heat or stretch it. Doing so may damage the cable, leading to electric shock or fire. • Do not use the power cable if it is damaged or broken or if the core wire is exposed. Otherwise there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire.
Page 10: Disposing Of The Product
To Ensure Safe Use l Caution regarding moving parts • Keep parts of the body such as the face and hands away from moving parts. Also keep clothing (e.g., loose clothing and accessories) that may impede work away from the machine. Failure to do so may result in injury.
Page 11: Usage Restrictions
• Take steps to keep people other than those who have received Mimaki safety training or who have been trained by them out of the hazardous area. There is a danger of injury from moving parts such as the carriage or tension bar while printing is in progress if untrained personnel are allowed within the restricted area while the machine is operating.
