2.3.6 POWER PLUG AND POWER CORD
WARNING
1. Before serving the machine (especially when responding to a service call),
always make sure that the power plug has been inserted completely into the
power source. A partially inserted plug could lead to heat generation (due to
a power surge caused by high resistance) and cause a fire or other problems.
2. Always check the power plug and make sure that it is free of dust and lint.
Clean it if necessary. A dirty plug can generate heat which could cause a fire.
3. Inspect the length of the power cord for cuts or other damage. Replace the
power cord if necessary. A frayed or otherwise damaged power cord can
cause a short circuit which could lead to a fire or personal injury from
electrical shock.
4. Check the length of the power cord between the machine and power supply.
Make sure the power cord is not coiled or wrapped around any object such
as a table leg. Coiling the power cord can cause excessive heat to build up
and could cause a fire.
5. Make sure that the area around the power source is free of obstacles so the
power cord can be removed quickly in case of an emergency.
6. Make sure that the power cord is grounded (earthed) at the power source
with the ground wire on the plug.
7. Connect the power cord directly into the power source. Never use an
extension cord.
8. When you disconnect the power plug from the power source, always pull on
the plug, not the cable.
9. The copier shall be installed near the socket outlet and shall be accessible.
10. Be sure to fix and plug in the power cord securely after the installation so that
no one trips over it.
