IMPORTANT - For Your Safety
To ensure safe operation the three-pin plug supplied must be inserted
only into a standard three-pin power point which is properly earthed
through the normal household wiring.
Extension cords should not be used with the equipment. If it is
essential that an extension cord has to be used, it must be a three-pin
plug type and correctly wired to provide proper grounding. Incorrectly
wired extension cords may cause personal injury and equipment
damage.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that
the power is earthed and that the installation is completely safe. For
your safety, if in any doubt about the effective grounding of the power,
consult a qualified electrician.
Operator Safety
This machine is considered a CDRH class 1 laser device, safe for
office/EDP use. The machine contains 5-milliwat, 700 – 800 nanometer
wavelength, GaAIAs laser diodes. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye
contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety
precautions and interlock mechanisms have been designed to prevent
any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
Caution
Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than
those specified in this manual might result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
