X Safety Information
Please read the safety warnings and cautions provided in this guide to ensure that you use your
machine safely. Do not attempt to use the machine in any way not described in this guide.
WARNING
You may cause an electric shock/fire or damage the machine if you ignore any of these safety
precautions.
z Location
z Power supply
Do not place the machine close to flammable solvents such as alcohol or thinners. If flammable
substances come into contact with electrical parts inside the machine, it may result in fire or
electrical shock.
Never attempt to plug or unplug the machine from the power supply when your hands are wet.
This may result in electrical shock.
Always push the plug all the way into the power outlet. If the prongs of the power plug come into
contact with metal objects, it may result in fire or electrical shock.
Never damage, modify, stretch or excessively bend or twist the power cord. Do not place heavy
objects on the power cord. These actions may cause electrical damage and result in fire or
electrical shock.
Never plug the machine into a power socket that is shared with other equipment (extension lead/
cord, 2- or 3-way adapter, etc.). This may result in fire or electrical shock.
Plug the machine into a standard 120V AC, 60 Hz, two-prong grounded outlet. Operate the
machine only from the type of power source indicated on the machine's label or a fire, electrical
shock, or malfunction may occur. If you are unsure of the type of power available, consult your
local power company.
Do not allow the power cord to be near objects that emit heat. The outer cover of the power cord
may melt resulting in fire or electrical shock.
Never use the machine if the power cord is bundled or knotted. Knots in the cord may result in fire
or electrical shock.
If you detect smoke, unusual smells or strange noises around the machine, immediately unplug
the machine at the power supply and contact the Canon Customer Care Center at 757-413-2848.
Using the machine in such conditions may result in fire or electrical shock.
Periodically, unplug the machine and use a dry cloth to wipe off any dust or dirt collected on the
plug and the power outlet.
If the machine is placed at a location exposed to a lot of dust, smoke, or high humidity, the dust
collected on the plug absorbs moisture and may cause insulation failure and fire.
