Safety Precautions to be Followed
This section explains safety precautions that should always be followed when
using this machine.
Environments where the machine can be used
This section explains safety precautions about environments where the machine
can be used.
WARNING:
• Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this
machine. Also, avoid placing these items in the vicinity of this
machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not place vases, plant pots, cups, toiletries, medicines, small metal
objects, or containers holding water or any other liquids, on or close
to this machine. Fire or electric shock could result from spillage or if
such objects or substances fall inside this machine.

A-7
CAUTION:
• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an
electric shock might occur.
• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over,
an injury might occur.
• Do not place heavy objects on the machine. Doing so can cause the
machine to topple over, possibly resulting in injury.
Handling power cords and power plugs
This section explains safety precautions about handling power cords and power
plugs.
WARNING:
• The supplied power cord is for use with this machine only. Do not use
it with other appliances. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• Touching the prongs of the power cable’s plug with anything metallic
constitutes a fire and electric shock hazard.
• Do not use power cords that are damaged, broken, or modified. Also,
do not use power cords that have been trapped under heavy objects,
pulled hard, or bent severely. Doing so could result in fire or electric
shock.
• It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing
so could result in electric shock.
• Do not use extension cords. Doing so could result in fire or electric
shock.
• Do not use multi-socket adaptors. Doing so could result in fire or
electric shock.
• Do not use any power sources other than those that match the
specifications shown. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

A-8
CAUTION:
• If this machine is not going to be used for several days or longer at a time,
disconnect its power cord from the wall outlet.
• Be sure to push the plug of the power cord fully into the wall outlet. Partially
inserted plugs create an unstable connection that can result in unsafe
buildup of heat.
• When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug, not the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of
damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.
• Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs
and the area around the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build
up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.
• When performing maintenance on the machine, always disconnect the
power cord from the wall outlet.
