1 • Introduction
Follow the normal safety precautions for all office equipment:
• It is strongly recommended that you use only Pitney Bowes approved
supplies, in particular aerosol dusters. Improper storage and use of
aerosol dusters or flammable aerosol dusters, can cause an explosive-
like condition that could result in a personal injury and/or property
damage. Never use aerosol dusters labelled flammable and always read
instructions and safety precautions on the duster container label.
• To obtain supplies, please contact our Supply Line™ to place orders.
Material Safety Data Sheets can be obtained on the web or from
our Supply Line™. Refer to the Contact Information List for more
information.
• Use the power cord supplied with the machine and plug it into a properly
grounded wall outlet located near the machine and easily accessible.
Failure to properly ground the machine can result in severe personal
injury and/or fire.
• Avoid touching moving parts or materials while the machine is in use.
Keep hands, loose clothing, jewellery and long hair away from all moving
parts.
• Do not remove covers or defeat safety interlock switches. Covers
enclose hazardous parts that should only be accessed by properly
trained service personnel. Immediately report to service any damaged or
non-functioning components that renders the unit unsafe.
• Place the unit in an accessible location to allow for proper venting of the
equipment and to facilitate servicing.
• The power cord wall plug is the primary means of disconnecting the
machine from the AC supply.
• Do not use an adapter plug on the line cord or wall outlet.
• Do not remove the ground pin from the line cord.
• Avoid using wall outlets that are controlled by wall switches, or shared
with other equipment.
• Do not route the power cord over sharp edges or trap between furniture.
