Mishandling due to ignoring this display may cause personal injury.
General Cautions
WARNIN
G
Do not touch the safety
switch inside this machine.
High voltage may occur,
resulting in electric shock.
Also, a gear may rotate,
resulting in injury.
Do not use a highly
combustible spray near this
machine. Some parts inside
the machine become very
hot, possibly resulting in fire.
If the cover becomes extremely
hot, the machine emits smoke or
odor, or you hear a strange sound,
unplug the power plug from the
outlet, and contact your dealer.
Fire may result.
If liquid such as water gets
inside the machine, unplug
the power plug from the
outlet, and contact your
dealer.
Fire may result.
If you drop a clip or other
foreign objects into the

plug from the outlet, and take
the foreign objects out.
Electric shock, fire, or injury
may result.
Do not perform any operation or
disassembly other than instructed
in manuals.
Electric shock, fire, or injury may
result.
There is a risk of explosion
if the battery is replaced
with the wrong type of
battery. The battery in the
machine does not need to
be replaced. Do not touch
the battery.
If the machine is dropped
or the cover is damaged,
unplug the power plug from
the outlet, and contact your
dealer.
Electric shock, fire, or injury
may result.
Unplug the power plug regularly,
and clean the bases of and in

If the power plug is left plugged into
the outlet for an extended period
of time, dust adheres on the bases
of the plug blades, and a short may
occur, possibly resulting in fire.
Do not connect the power
cord, cables, or the ground
wire in any way other than
instructed in manuals.
Fire may result.
Do not put a cup with
liquids such as water on the

other reasons.
If toner spills on the floor or other
places, wipe the toner gently with a
damp rag or other cloth while using
care not to scatter the toner.
When the machine cover
is opened, do not touch
