General safety
Follow	these	rules	below	to	ensure	general	safety:
•	 Observe	a	good	housekeeping	in	the	area	where	the	machines	are	put	
during and after the maintenance.
• When lifting any heavy object:
1.	 Make	sure	that	you	can	stand	safely	without	slipping.
2.	 Distribute	the	weight	of	the	object	equally	between	your	feet.
3.	 Use	a	slow	lifting	force.	Never	move	suddenly	or	twist	when	you	attempt	
to lift it.
4. Lift it by standing or pushing up with your leg muscles; this action could
avoid the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any
object that weighs more than 16 kg (35 lb) or that you think is too heavy
for you.
• Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that
makes the machine unsafe.
• Before you start the machine, make sure that other service representatives
and the customer are not in a hazardous position.
• Please remove covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all
personnel, while you are servicing the machine.
• Keep your toolcase away from walk areas so that other people will not trip
over it.
• Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of the
machine. Make sure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your
elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.
• Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with the
nonconductive clip, about 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.
• Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for
your clothing.
Attention: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.
• Wear safety glasses when you are hammering, drilling, soldering, cutting
wire, attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions
that may be hazardous to your eyes.
• After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.
Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.
•	 Reinstall	all	covers	correctly	before	returning	the	machine	to	the	customer.
•	 Fan	louvers	on	the	machine	help	to	prevent	the	overheating	of	internal	
components. Do not obstruct fan louvers or cover them with labels or
stickers.
