Printer Disassembly Precautions

When working on the EPSON FX-880 or FX-1180, follow the warnings and cautions below.
Disconnect the power cable before opening the printer case.
Do not open the printer for at least five minutes after disconnecting the power cable to allow the
electrolytic capacitor to discharge completely.
Never touch primary parts of the power supply unit (including the heat sink) while the power
supply cable is connected to the power socket. The heat sink is not electrically isolated.
Don't touch the heat sink even after power has been disconnected, as it may be very hot.
Don't touch the printhead after printing, as it may be very hot.
Use only recommended tools for maintenance work.
Use only recommended lubricants and adhesives. (See Chapter 6.)
Always follow the instructions in this manual when you perform any adjustment on the printer.
