Published in Japan.   Information regarding Lead-Free (PbF) solder:
    Distinction of PbF PCB:
PCBs (manufactured) using lead free solder will have a          mark following 
the PCB part numbers in a label on the PCB.
    Caution:
  Pb free solder has a higher melting point than standard solder; typically 
  the melting point is 50 - 70  F (30 - 40  C) higher. Please use a soldering iron 
  with temperature control and adjust it to 700  20  F (370  10  C). Exercise care 
  while using higher temperature soldering irons, do not heat the PCB for too long
 
  to prevent solder splash or damage to the PCB.
  Pb free solder will tend to splash when heated too high (about 1100  F/600  C).
  ECO SOLDER M705 (available from Senju Metal Industry Co., Ltd.: 
             URL: http://www.senju-m.co.jp) is recommended when repairing PbF PCBs.
This Product Uses Lead (Pb) Free Solder Printed Circuit 
Boards (PCBs).

Power and Ground Connection Cautions
Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated
connector can draw a significant amount of current that can generate heat and
eventually cause fire over an extended period of time.
Always use the power cord provided with your machine. When an extension power cord
is required, always use a properly rated cord.
120 V/15 A or AC 220 - 240V/10 A
If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the machine or plug may emit smok
e
or become hot to the touch externally.
Do not attempt to rework, pull, bend, chafe or otherwise damage the power cord. Do no
t
place a heavy object on the cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electric shock.

Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, replace immediately with a specified cord onl
y.
Using a damaged cord can cause fire or electric shock.
Stop operation immediately if your machine produces smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise, or smell,
or if water is spilt onto the machine. These conditions can cause fire. Immediately switch Off and
unplug the machine.
Do not disconnect or reconnect the machine while it is on. Disconnecting a live connector can deform
the plug and cause fire.
When disconnecting the machine, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Forcibly pulling on a cord can
damage it and cause fire or electric shock.
When the machine is not used over an extended period of time, switch it Off and unplug it. If an unused
machine is left connected to a power source for a long period, degraded insulation can cause electric
shock, current leakage or fire.
Be sure to switch Off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for cleaning,
maintenance or fault clearance. Access to a live machins interior can cause electric shock.
Be sure to switch Off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for

When copying a thick document, do not use excessive force to press it against the
document glass. The glass may break and cause injuries.
Never touch a labeled area found on or near the heat roller. You can get burnt. If a sheet
of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, do not try to remove it when it is hot, to avoid
injuries or burns. Switch Off the machine immediately, and wait until it cools down.
Do not use conductive paper, e.g. folding paper, carbon paper and coated paper. When
a paper jam occurs, it can cause a short circuit and fire.
Do not place any heavy object on the machine. An off-balance machine can tip-over or
the heavy object can fall, causing damage and/or injuries.
Keep the room ventilated when using the machine for an extended period of time to
minimize the ozone density in the air.
When copying with the document cover open, do not look directly at the exposure lamp.
Direct eye exposure can cause eye fatigue or damage.
Pull out paper trays slowly to prevent injuries.
When removing jammed paper, make sure that no pieces of torn paper are left in the
machine. A piece of paper remaining in the machine can cause a fire. If a sheet of paper 
is
wrapped around the heat roller, or when clearing a jammed paper that is difficult or
impossible to see, do not try to remove it by yourself. Doing so can cause injuries or
burns. Switch Off the machine immediately, and wait until it cools down.
CAUTION
Consumable Safeguards
Never throw a toner bottle into an open flame. Toner remaining in the bottle can
cause an explosion and you can get burnt.
