Depending on the model, some of the precautions given in the following do not apply. Different markings are used to denote specific meanings as detailed below. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WARNING could result in death or serious injury.
  • Page 3 4. Handle the power cord with care and never use a multiple outlet. • Do not break, crush or otherwise damage the power cord. Placing a heavy object on the power cord, or pulling or bending it may damage it, resulting in a possible fire or electric shock.
  • Page 4 CAUTION 1. Precautions for Service Jobs • A toothed washer and spring washer, if used originally, must be reinstalled. Omitting them may result in contact failure which could cause an electric shock or fire. • When reassembling parts, make sure that the correct screws (size, type) are used in the correct places.
  • Page 5 5. Precautions for the Laser Beam (Only for Products Employing a Laser) • Removing the cover marked with the following caution label could lead to possi- ble exposure to the laser beam, resulting in eye damage or blindness. Be sure to unplug the power cord before removing this cover.

  • Page 6: Other Precautions

    Other Precautions • To reassemble the product, reverse the order of disassembly unless otherwise specified. • While the product is energized, do not unplug or plug connectors into the circuit boards or harnesses. • The magnet roller generates a strong magnetic field. Do not bring it near a watch, floppy disk, magnetic card, or CRT tube.
