Usage Precautions

In the event of abnormal conditions

Warning mark_
  • In the event of abnormal conditions such as smoke or unusual odor, turn off the main power immediately and unplug the power cable. Continuing to use the machine under these conditions may result in failure, electric shock, or fire. Once you have confirmed that smoke is no longer being emitted, contact your local dealer or our service office. Never attempt to repair the machine yourself, which is hazardous.

Power supply precautions

Warning mark_
  • Use the power cable provided. Otherwise there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire. The power cable provided is exclusive for the machine, and must not be used for other electrical equipment.
  • Always hold the plug when removing the power cable. Pulling out the power cable may damage the cable, leading to failure, electric shock, or fire.
  • Do not use the machine with dust accumulated on the power plug. Otherwise there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire.
  • Take care to prevent metals from touching the power plug blades. Otherwise there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire.
  • Do not damage or modify the power cable. Do not place heavy objects on, heat or stretch it. Doing so may damage the cable, leading to electric shock or fire.
  • Do not use extension cords or power strips. Otherwise there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire.
  • Do not use the power cable if it is damaged or broken or if the core wire is exposed. Otherwise there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire.
  • Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. Disregarding this precaution may result in electric shock.
  • Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. Disregarding this precaution may result in electric shock.
  • Plug the power cable plug into a grounded power outlet. Otherwise there is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire.

Notice mark_
  • Use the machine with a power supply that meets specifications.
  • Be sure to plug the power cable into a power outlet close to the machine. Insert the power plug blade securely.
  • When connecting the power cable, check the input voltage of the power outlet and the capacity of the breaker. Also, connect each cable to a separate power source with an independent breaker. Connecting to power outlets linked with the same breaker will cause the breaker to trip.
