that the machine power cord is unplugged.
2. The wall outlet should be near the machine and easily accessible.
3. If any adjustment or operation check has to be made with exterior covers off or open
while the main switch is turned on, keep hands away from electrified or mechanically
driven components.
4. The machine drives some of its components when it completes the warm-up period. Be
careful to keep hands away from the mechanical and electrical components as the
machine starts operation.
5. The inside and the metal parts of the fusing unit become extremely hot while the

temporary eye discomfort. Try to remove with eye drops or flush with water as first aid. If
unsuccessful, get medical attention.

The machine and its peripherals must be serviced by a customer service representative who
has completed the training course on those models.
