The following graphic symbols indicate the various types of action to be performed or
avoided.
This graphic symbol indicates a forbidden action.
means “Do not disassemble.”
means “Do not touch.”
This graphic symbol indicates actions that must be performed.
means “Disconnect the power plug.”
Always observe the cautions and warnings given below to prevent personal injury or property
damage.
The degree of danger and damage that could occur is indicated on two levels by the
following marks.
WARNING : Ignoring this mark could result in the possibility of serious injury or
even death.
CAUTION : Ignoring this mark could result in the possibility of injury or physical
damage.
1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
!
!
WARNING:
!
Do not place metal objects or vessels containing liquids on top of the unit. The entry of any
metal object or liquid could result in a fire or an electrical shock.
Do not insert any metal or easily-combustible object inside this unit. This could result in a fire
or an electrical shock.
Do not touch or insert foreign objects into any rotating part during operation. This could
result in injury.
Do not remove the cover or back panel. This unit contains high-voltage components that
could cause an electrical shock.
Do not disassemble, modify or repair this unit. There is a danger of fire, electrical shock or
injury. Contact your dealer when repairs are necessary.
Use only the power supply voltage specified on the main nameplate. Using other voltages
could result in a fire or an electrical shock.
Keep this unit and the power cord away from heaters and heater vents. Excessive heat could
melt the cover or power cord covering, and result in a fire or an electrical shock.
Do not use solvent inside or near the unit (e.g. when cleaning the unit). Such solvents may
damage the rubber rollers and resin inside the unit, resulting in malfunctions.
(Continued on the next page)

Make sure that the combined power consumption of the appliances to be connected does not
exceed the capacity rating of the power outlets or plug receptacles. Exceeding the capacity
rating could cause the power outlets, plug receptacles, or power extension cords to overheat
and catch a fire.
Remove any dust that accumulates on thepower plug prongs and the surface of the plug from
which the prongs extend. Accumulated dust could result in a fire.
If any foreign object such as metal or liquid should enter this unit, immediately turn the unit
off at the power switch and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. Failure to do
so could result in a fire or an electrical shock. Contact your dealer immediately.
Do not damage the power cord or power plug. (Do not scratch, alter, bend, twist, pull or place
heavy objects on the power cord or power plug.)
This could result in damage, a fire or an electrical shock.
Always grip the plug when disconnecting the power plug from the power outlet. Forcibly
pulling on the power cord could cause damage, resulting in a fire or an electrical shock.
Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. This could result in an electrical shock.
Before cleaning this unit, turn the unit off at the power switch and disconnect the power plug
from the power outlet. Accidental operation of the unit during cleaning could result in injury.
CAUTION:
!
Always disconnect the power plug from the power outlet when the unit is not to be used for
an extended period. Failure to do so could result in a fire due to leakage current if the
insulation should deteriorate.
Install this unit on a level, stable stand or floor, with sufficient space around it. Failure to do
so could result in the unit overturning and causing injury.
Do not install this unit in a location where there is excessive humidity or where contact with
water is possible. Poor choice of location could result in deterioration of the insulation, a fire
or an electrical shock.
Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before attempting to move this unit. Failure
to do so could result in power cord damage, a fire or an electrical shock.
Do not touch the power switch with wet hands. Otherwise electric hazards may occur.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (continued)
Do not put fingers inside during operation. This could result in injury.
Keep away long hair, ties, jewelry and loose clothing. This could result in injury.
Do not use flammable sprays inside or near the unit (e.g. when cleaning the unit). Such
flammable gas may ignite and cause a fire or combustion.

Caution Label Location
2. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
2-1. Installation Location
Install the unit on a table which can tolerate its weight. The mass of the unit is as follows.
94 lb
Install the unit close to a power outlet.
The unit may make loud sounds while operating according to the processing speed and paper
used due to its paper-folding mechanism. Therefore install it where it will not disturb the office
environment.
Refer to “1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS”(☞p.3, 4).
2-2. Precautions in Moving the Unit
As the unit weights 94 lb, when moving it, it should be held at the base by two persons.
When moving the unit with folding plates 1 and 2 removed, make sure the folding plates are not
subject to shock. Otherwise, the folding plates may damage, resulting in poor folding accuracy.
Arrange the power cord carefully so that it does not get stepped on, and damage as a result.
The caution label is pasted on the unit to ensure the safety of users. Do not remove nor change it.
If the label becomes dirty, damaged, or lost, be sure to contact your nearest dealer for a new one.
