Disassemble and modification
WARNING
• Do not attempt to remove the covers and panels which have
been fixed to the product. Some products have a high-volt-
age part or a laser beam source inside that could cause an
electrical shock or blindness.
• Do not modify this product, as a fire, electrical shock, or
breakdown could result. If the product employs a laser, the
laser beam source could cause blindness.
Power cord
WARNING
• Use only the power cord supplied in the package. If a power
cord is not supplied, only use the power cord and plug that
is specified in POWER CORD INSTRUCTION. Failure to use
this cord could result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Use the power cord supplied in the package only for this ma-
chine and NEVER use it for any other product. Failure to ob-
serve this precaution could result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Do not scratch, abrade, place a heavy object on, heat, twist,
bend, pull on, or damage the power cord. Use of a damaged
power cord (exposed core wire, broken wire, etc.) could re-
sult in a fire or breakdown.
Should any of these conditions be found, immediately turn
OFF the power switch, unplug the power cord from the pow-
er outlet, and then call your authorized service representa-
tive.

Power source
WARNING
• Use only the specified power source voltage. Failure to do
that could result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Connect power plug directly into wall outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. Use of an adapter leads to the
product connecting to inadequate power supply (voltage,
current capacity, grounding), and may result in fire or shock.
If proper wall outlet is not available, the customer shall ask
qualified electrician for the installation.
• Do not use a multiple outlet adapter nor an extension cord in
principle. Use of an adapter or an extension cord could
cause a fire or electrical shock.
Contact your authorized service representative if an exten-
sion cord is required.
• Consult your authorized service representative before con-
necting other equipment on the same wall outlet. Overload
could result in a fire.
CAUTION
• The outlet must be near the equipment and easily accessi-
ble. Otherwise you can not pull out the power plug when an
emergency occurs.
Power plug
WARNING
• Do not unplug and plug in the power cord with a wet hand,
as an electrical shock could result.
• Plug the power cord all the way into the power outlet. Failure
to do this could result in a fire or electrical shock.
CAUTION
• Do not tug the power cord when unplugging. Pulling on the
power cord could damage the cord, resulting in a fire or
electrical shock.
• Remove the power plug from the outlet more than one time
a year and clean the area between the plug terminals. Dust
that accumulates between the plug terminals may cause a
fire.
Grounding
WARNING
• Connect the power cord to an electrical outlet that is
equipped with a grounding terminal.

a given point during microfilming. (approx 1.5 meters or 5 feet). When this occurs stop filming and change film
roll, immediately unload the exposed film from the Film Unit.
An exposed portion of film can also be easily unloaded before the entire roll of film is used. In either case, make
sure that the exposed film is placed in a light-proof container immediately after removal.
❑ Unloading Partial Roll:
After the last exposure has been taken, hold down the
Spacing Key until the Film Unit advances film about 100
frames.
Turn Power ON/OFF Switch off, place the Film Unit
Release Lever in the left (RELEASE) position, then lift
the Film Unit straight up and remove it from the
