Safety Guidelines
• Keep
hair
and personal articles out of
the
printing and ribbon
area
when the
printer
is
on
to
prevent getting them caught in the
printer.
Be
sure
to
comply
with
this
warning and ask others
to
do
so.
• The IBM "
Quietwriter"
Ill
Printer
incorporates Class 1 con-
struction
as
defined by the International Electrotechnical Com-
mission Publication 380, "Safety of
Electrically
Energized Office
Machines," and
other
national standards.
Class 1 construction provides protection against
electric
shock
by
protectively
grounding
the
acce
ssible
metal parts of the
machine
.
The
IBM
"Quietwriter
"
Ill
Prin
t
er
is
equipped
with a grounding
type (3-wire)
electrical
cord
because
protective
grounding
is
nec-
essary
.
• For Continued Protection
Against
Electrical Shock:
1. Connect
only
to
a
proper
ly grounded electrical outlet of the
proper
vo
ltage. The
vo
ltage range yo
ur
printer
will
accept
appears on a label on the bottom of
the
printer.
2. Refer
servicing
to
trai
ned
pro
fessional
service
personnel.
3. When servicing, use on
ly
identical replacement parts.
