SAFETY AND IMPORTANT WARNING ITEMS

IMPORTANT WARNING ITEMS
[1] UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS
Konica copiers have gained a reputation for being reliable products. This has been attained by a combination of outstanding design and a knowledgeable service force. The design of the copier is extremely important. It is the design process that determines tolerances and safety margins for mechanical, electrical, and electronic aspects. It is not reasonable to expect individuals not involved in product engineering to know what effect may be caused by altering any aspect of the machine's design. Such changes have the potential of degrading product performance and reducing safety margins. For these reasons, installation of any modification not specifically authorized by Konica Corporation, is strictly prohibited. The following list of prohibited actions is not all-inclusive, but demonstrates the intent of this policy. CAUTION: (1) Using an extension cord or any unauthorized power cord adapter. (2) Using any fuse that is not of a type specified by Konica. (3) Using wire, paper clips, solder, etc., to replace or eliminate any fuse (including temperature fuses). (4) Removing (except for replacement) any air filter. (5) Defeating the operation of relays by any means (such as wedging paper between contacts). (6) Causing the machine to operate in a fashion other than as it was designed. (7) Making any change which might have a chance of defeating built-in safety features. (8) Using any unspecified replacement parts.

[2] GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
This copier has been examined in accordance with the laws pertaining to various product safety regulations prior to leaving the manufacturing facility to protect the operators and service personnel from injury. However, as with any operating devise, components will break down through the wear-and-tear of everyday use, as will additional safety discrepancies be discovered. For this reason, it is important that the technician periodically performs safety checks on the copier to maintain optimum reliability and safety. CAUTION: (1) Avoid injury. (2) Ensure that the copier is disconnected from its power source before continuing. (3) Do a job wearing clothes which make the job easy and safe. In case that even touching driving section, there must be no posibility of any injury like rolling up clothes. The following checks, not all-inclusive, should be made during each service call: CAUTION: (1) Look for sharp edges, burrs, and damage on all external covers and copier frame. (2) Inspect all cover hinges for wear (loose or broken). (3) Inspect cables for wear, frays, or pinched areas. (4) Ensure that the power cord insulation is not damaged (No exposed electrical conductors). (5) Ensure that the power cord is properly mounted to the frame by cord clamps. WARNING: (1) Check the continuity from the round lug (GND) of the power cord to the frame of the copier. Ensure continuity. An improperly grounded machine can cause an electrically-charged machine frame. (2) When an earth cable is connected to the improper position, there is a possibility of danger such as explosion or an electric shock. Therefore, the earth cable should not be connected to the following items. a. Gas pipe b. Lightning rod c. Earth cable for telephone line d. Water service pipe made of resin, and water service pipe and faucet which are not approved to be grounded by the Waterworks Bureau.

SAFETY AND IMPORTANT WARNING ITEMS

[3] SAFEGUARDS DURING SERVICE CALLS
CAUTION: (1) Confirm that all screws, parts, wiring and connector which are removed during maintenance are installed in their original positions. (Especially, negligence of inserting a connector, a sandwiched cord and negligence of driving a screw should be avoided.) (2) When disconnecting connectors, do not pull the wiring, particularly on AC line wiring and high voltage parts. (3) Do not route the power cord where it is likely to be stepped on or crushed. (4) Carefully remove all toner and dirt adhering to any electrical units or electrodes. (5) After part replacement or repair work, route the wiring in such a way that it does not contact any burrs or sharp edges. (6) Do not make any adjustments outside of the specified range.

[5] ACTION TO TAKE IN THE EVENT OF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
(1) If an accident occurs, the sales company or dealer that was notified of the accident first must take necessary emergency action to assist any injured persons and also prevent any further damage or injury. (2) If the customer notifies you of a serious accident, promptly check the situation regarding damage, injury, and so on, and report to Sales Company. Upon receiving this report, Sales Company must report to KC. (3) In order to determine the cause of the accident, preserve the site of the accident and also the machine itself, witness the investigation, and also follow any instructions from Sales Company or KC.

[6] SUMMARY
It is the responsibility of every technician to use professional skills when servicing Konica products. There are no short cuts to high-quality service. Each copier must be thoroughly inspected with respect to safety considerations as part of every routine service call. The operability of the copier, and more importantly, the safety of those who operate or service the copier, are directly dependent upon the conscientious effort of each and every technician. Remember .... when performing service calls, use good judgement (have a watchful eye) to identify safety hazards or potential safety hazards that may be present, and correct these problem areas as they are identified-the safety of those who operate the copier as well as those who service the copier depend on it!

[4] WHEN USING SERVICE MATERIALS
CAUTION: Care should be exercised when using isopropyl alcohol due to its flammability. When using alcohol to clean parts, observe the following precautions. Remove power from the equipment. Use alcohol in small quantities to avoid spillage or pudding. Any spillage should be cleaned up with rags and disposed of properly. Be sure that there is adequate ventilation. Allow a surface which has been in contact with alcohol to dry for a few minutes to ensure that the alcohol has evaporated completely before applying power or installing covers. CAUTION: Though toner and developer are harmless, pay attention not to inhale them, or not to expose eyes to them excessively. If this happens, wash eyes well with clear water and consult a doctor.
