❍Perform work in accordance with the instructions herein stated.
Instructions for work are explained by paying attention to the aspect of accident prevention.
Failing to perform work as per the instructions can cause accidents. In the case where only
those who have technical expertise should perform the work to avoid hazardous situation, the
instructions herein state that the site maintenance personnel should perform such work.
❍Be sure to turn off the power before working on the machine.
To prevent an electric shock, be sure to turn off the power before carrying out any work that
requires direct contact with the interior of the product. If the work is to be performed in the
power-on status, the Instruction Manual herein always states to that effect.
❍Be sure to ground the Earth Terminal.
(This is not required in the case where a power cord with earth is used.)
This product is equipped with the Earth Terminal. When installing the product, connect the

Unless the product is grounded appropriately, the user can be subject to an electric shock.
After performing repair, etc. for the control equipment, ensure that the Earth Wire is firmly
connected to the control equipment.
❍Ensure that the Power Supply used is equipped with an Earth Leakage Breaker.
This product does not incorporate the Earth Leakage Breaker. Using a power supply which is
not equipped with the Earth Leakage Breaker can cause a fire when earth leakage occurs.
❍Be sure to use fuses which meet the specified rating.
(Only for the machines which use fuses.)
Using fuses exceeding the specified rating can cause a fire and an electric shock.

❍Specification changes (removal of equipment, conversion and addition) not
designated by SEGA are not allowed.
The parts of the product include warning labels for safety, covers for personal protection, etc.
It is very hazardous to operate the product by removing parts and/or modifying the circuits.
