Earth terminals for telephone lines or lightning rods. Doing so may cause a large flow of voltage if
lightning occurs.
o
Water pipes or faucets. If there is a plastic part in the pipe, the earthing will not work
correctly.
•
Do not insert or drop metal or objects which are easily combustible through the openings such as fresh
air inlet into the plotter. It could lead to an electric shock and fire.
