INTRODUCTION
12 Safety Precautions
WARNING
P-touch Labeler
Follow these guidelines to avoid fire, electric shock, the risk of injury to yourself or others,
and/or damage to the P-touch labeler or other property.
DO NOT allow the P-touch labeler to get
wet or use the P-touch labeler in areas
that may become wet, such as
bathrooms or near sinks.
DO NOT touch any metal parts near the print
head. The print head becomes very hot during
use and remains very hot immediately after
use. Do not touch it directly with your hands.
DO NOT use the P-touch labeler with a foreign
object in it. If water, a metallic substance, or
any other foreign object enters the P-touch
labeler, disconnect the AC adapter and
remove batteries, and contact the retail outlet
where the P-touch labeler was purchased or
your local authorized service center.
DO NOT disassemble the P-touch
labeler.
For inspection, adjustment, and repair of
the P-touch labeler, contact the retail
outlet where the P-touch labeler was
purchased or your local authorized
service center.
Plastic bags are used in the packaging
of your P-touch labeler. To avoid danger
of suffocation, keep these bags away
from babies and children.
If you notice heat, an abnormal odor,
discoloration of the P-touch labeler,
deformation, or anything else unusual
while using or storing the P-touch
labeler, immediately stop using the
P-touch labeler, disconnect the AC
adapter, and remove the batteries.
To prevent damage, do not drop or hit
the P-touch labeler.
Alkaline batteries/Ni-MH rechargeable batteries
Follow these guidelines to avoid liquid leakage, heat, rupture of the battery and cause personal injury.
DO NOT throw into fire, heat up, short-
circuit, recharge, or disassemble the battery.
DO NOT allow batteries to get wet, for
example, by handling them with wet
hands or spilling beverages onto them.
If fluid leaked from the batteries gets into
your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes
with a large amount of clean water, and
then seek medical attention. If leaked
fluid enters your eyes, loss of eyesight
or other damage to the eyes may result.
DO NOT allow a metal object to contact
both the plus and minus ends of a battery.
DO NOT use sharp objects, such as tweezers or
a metallic pen, to remove or replace the batteries.
DO NOT use a damaged, deformed, or
leaking battery, or a battery whose label
is damaged. Doing so may result in
generating excessive heat. Use of a
damaged or leaking battery may also
lead to battery fluid getting on your
hands. If fluid leaked from the batteries
gets onto your hands, there is a
possibility of chemical burns. If leaked
fluid gets onto your hands and you rub
your eyes, loss of eyesight or other
damage to the eyes may result.
Immediately rinse your hands with a
large amount of clean water, and then
seek medical attention.
