Safety Precautions
Please read the safety warnings and cautions prov ided in this manual to ensure that you use the 
machine safely. Do not attempt to use the mach ine in any way not described in this manual.
Warning
You may cause an electric shock, fire, or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety 
precautions.
Choosing a location Do not place the machine close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners.
Power supply Never attempt to plug in or unplug the machine from the power supply when your hands 
are wet.
Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet.
Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or 
twist the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the 
power cord.
Never plug the machine into a power socket that is 
shared with other equipment (extension lead/cord, 2- or 
3-way adapter, etc.).
Never use the machine if the power cord is bundled or knotted.
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the machine, immediately 
unplug the machine at the power supply and call for service.
Periodically, unplug the machine and use a dry cloth to 
wipe off any dust or dirt collected on the plug and the 
power outlet. If the machine is placed at a location 
exposed to a lot of dust, smoke, or high humidity, the 
dust collected on the plug absorbs moisture and may 
cause insulation failure and fire.
Use the power cable included with the machine.
If you hear thunder disconnect the power supply of the machine and refrain from using it. Leaving 
the machine plugged in may cause fire, electric shock, or damage to the machine, depending on 
the thunder storm. 
 
						

							58Safety Precautions
Cleaning the machine Use a damp cloth to clean the machine. Never use 
flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene or 
thinners.

components inside the machine, it could cause a fire or 
electric shock.
Always unplug the machine from the power outlet before cleaning the machine.
If you accidentally switch the machine on while cleaning it, you could injure yourself or damage the 
machine.

machine Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine. There are no user serviceable parts 
inside the machine.
The machine contains high-voltage components. Never attempt any maintenance procedure not 
described in this guide.
Working around the 
machine Do not use highly flammable sprays near the machine.
This could cause a fire or electric shock if the spray comes into contact with electrical components 
inside the machine.
Caution

Choosing a location Do not install the machine in a location that is unstable or subject to excessive vibration.
Do not install the machine in locations that are very humid or dusty, in direct sunlight, 
outdoors, or close to a heating source.
To avoid the risk of fire or electric shocks, install the machine in a location with an ambient 
temperature range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F) and humidity of 10% to 90% (condensation 
free).
