NOTICE Grounding Instructions In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided - if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation hav - ing an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. Repair or replace damaged or worn cord immediately.

To Ensure Safe Use 5 Incorrect operation may cause injury WARNING Be sure to follow the operation procedures described in this documentation. Never allow anyone unfamiliar with the usage or handling of the machine to touch it. Incorrect usage or handling may lead to an accident. Keep children away from the machine. The machine includes areas and components that pose a hazard to children and may result in injury, blindness, choking, or other serious accident. Never operate the machine while tired or after ingesting alcohol or any medication. Operation requires unimpaired judgment. Im- paired judgment may result in an accident. Never use the machine for any purpose for which it is not intended, or use the machine in an undue manner that exceeds its capacity. Doing so may result in injury or fire. For accessories (optional and consum- able items, power cord, and the like), use only genuine articles compatible with this machine. Incompatible items may lead to an accident. Before attempting cleaning, maintenance, or attachment or detachment of optional items, disconnect the power cord. Attempting such operations while the machine is connected to a power source may result in injury or electrical shock. Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the machine. Doing so may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury. Entrust repairs to a trained service technician. CAUTION Exercise caution to avoid being pinched or becoming caught. Inadvertent contact with certain areas may cause the hand or fingers to be pinched or become caught. Use care when performing operations. Never attempt operation while wearing a necktie, necklace, or loose clothing. Bind long hair securely. Such items may become caught in the ma- chine, resulting in injury. Conduct operations in a clean, brightly lit location. Working in a location that is dark or cluttered may lead to an accident, such as becoming caught in the machine as the result of an in- advertent stumble. Never climb or lean on the machine. The machine is not made to support a per- son. Climbing or leaning on the machine may dislodge components and cause a slip or fall, resulting in injury. Caution: cutting tool. This machine has an internal tool. To avoid injury, handle the tool with care. Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
To Ensure Safe Use 6 WARNING Connect to an electrical outlet that com- plies with this machine's ratings (for volt- age, frequency, and current). Incorrect voltage or insufficient current may cause fire or electrical shock. Never use out of doors or in any location where exposure to water or high humidity may occur. Never touch with wet hands. Doing so may result in fire or electrical shock. Never allow any foreign object to get inside. Never expose to liquid spills. Inserting objects such as coins or matches or allowing beverages to be spilled into the ventilation ports may result in fire or electrical shock. If anything gets inside, immediately disconnect the power cord and contact your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer. Never place any flammable object nearby. Never use a combustible aerosol spray nearby. Never use in any location where gases can accumulate. Combustion or explosion may be a danger. WARNING Handle the power cord, plug, and electrical outlet correctly and with care. Never use any article that is damaged. Using a damaged article may result in fire or electrical shock. When using an extension cord or power strip, use one that adequately satisfies the machine's ratings (for voltage, frequency, and current). Use of multiple electrical loads on a single electrical outlet or of a lengthy extension cord may cause fire. Connect to ground. This can prevent fire or electrical shock due to current leakage in the event of malfunction. Position so that the power plug is within immediate reach at all times. This is to enable quick disconnection of the power plug in the event of an emergency. Install the machine next to an electrical outlet. Also, provide enough empty space to allow immediate access to the electrical outlet. If sparking, smoke, burning odor, unusual sound, or abnormal operation occurs, im- mediately unplug the power cord. Never use if any component is damaged. Continuing to use the machine may result in fire, electrical shock, or injury. Contact your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer.

Any location exposed to open flame Any location where high temperature may occur Near bleach or any other such oxidizing agent or explosive material Any location within the reach of chil- dren Fire may be a danger. Accidental ingestion by children may pose a health hazard. Never place an ink cartridge in fire. Ink may flow out, catch fire, and spread fire to other nearby objects. Never drink or sniff ink, cleaning fluid, or discharged fluid, or allow them to come in contact with the eyes or skin. Doing so may be hazardous to the health. In the event of ingestion or physical distress In the event of contact with the eyes, immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If eye irrita- tion continues, seek treatment by a physician. In the event of contact with skin, immediately wash with soap. If irritation or inflammation occurs, seek treatment by a physician.
