1.3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General safety instructions that must be observed to use the equipment safely are explained below.

 Always wear protective goggles. Operators as well as technicians and visitors have to wear protective

goggles whenever the infrared lamp is active. It is obligated to wear them to avoid eye damage.

 Do not touch the infrared lamp or infrared lamp house after or during operation. Doing so could result in

burns.

 Please note that after operating the infrared lamp and infrared lamp house will remain hot for several

minutes. Let it cool off. Not doing so could result in burns.

 In case the carriage or infrared lamp touches the media, power the unit OFF and ON. Do not touch the

carriage or infrared lamp.

 Be careful not to pinch your fingers when lowering or lifting the media guide by using the lifting grip.

 During printing on rigid materials, the fans will cool off the infrared lamp. Please note there is no

detection. Regularly check if the fans are working. You can do this by holding a sheet of paper between

the fan and lamp house.

 When installing or removing the front stand 1, please make sure not to touch the carriage or the infrared

lamp. Doing so could cause permanent damage.

 Do not place the printer in the following areas. Doing so may result in the printer tipping or falling over

and causing injury.

• Unstable surfaces

• Inclined surface

• Areas subject to vibration by other equipment

 Do not stand on or place heavy objects on your printer. Doing so may result in the printer tipping or

falling over and may cause injury.

 Do not cover the ventilation hole of your printer with cloth, such as a blanket or table cloth. Doing so

could obstruct ventilation and cause fire.

 Do not place the printer in humid and dusty areas. Doing so may result in electrical shock or fire.

 Do not use a damaged power cable. Doing so may result in electrical shock.

 Do not attempt to plug in electrical plugs with wet hands. Doing so may result in electrical shock.

 Do not connect earth cables in the following areas.

• Gas pipes → Doing so may cause fire or an explosion.

• Earth terminals for telephone line or lightning rod → Doing so may cause a large flow of

voltage if lightning occurs.

• Water pipes or faucets → If there is a plastic part in the pipe, the earth will not work properly.

 The ink used in the product contains an organic solvent (CYCLOHEXANONE). It is flammable so open

flame is prohibited in the area. In a dry environment, static electricity can cause ignition, so before

handling the ink, jetwash liquid or waste liquids, touch a metallic object first to remove static electricity

from your body.

 Do not insert or drop metal or inflammable objects into openings, such as ventilation outlets. Doing so

may result in electrical shock and fire.

 Stop using your printer if a liquid is spilled into it. This may cause electrical shock or fire. Turn the

printer off as soon as possible, unplug the power cord, contact MUTOH local dealer.

 Be sure to use the attached cable. Otherwise, electrical shock or fire may occur.

 Be sure to use the specified voltage (AC 100 V- 120 V or AC 220 V - 240 V). Otherwise, electrical shock

or fire may occur.

 Use electricity directly from a power outlet (AC 100 V- 120 V or AC 220 V - 240 V). Do not put many

loads on one electrical output. Otherwise, heat may be generated and cause fire.

 Be sure to use an outlet with an earth terminal and use the terminal correctly. Otherwise, electrical

shock or fire may occur.

 The ink used in this product contains an organic solvent (CYCLOHEXANONE). Make sure to follow the

industrial waste disposal laws and ordinances of your local governments. It is necessary to install a local

ventilation unit, a push/pull type ventilation unit, or a total ventilation unit to perform adequate ventilation.

 If ink or jetwash liquid is swallowed, do not make the person throw up, but immediately call a doctor and

a poison management centre. If there is contact with eyes or inhalation, it may cause irritation. Follow

the cautions and procedures labeled on the ink and jetwash bottles, and take action immediately.

 Follow the instructions below when handling the power cable.

• Do not modify the cable

• Do not put heavy objects on the cable

• Do not bend, twist, or pull the cord

• Do not wire the cable near equipment that generates heat

 Follow the instructions below when handling the power plug. Otherwise, fire may occur.

• Wipe away dust and any other residue before inserting the plug.

• Ensure that the plug is firmly inserted as far as it will go.

 When handling the foot switch, be wary of the following:

• Do not place anything heavy on the foot switch

• Do not bend the cable of the foot switch with force, and do not pull.

• Do not place the foot switch near thermal devices.

 When opening/closing the maintenance cover, be careful not to get fingers caught in the lid.

 Be careful not to pinch your fingers between rigid media and the media tray

 When moving the media, be careful not to pinch your fingers between the flat stand roller and the media

tray

 The refilled ink or jetwash liquid must not exceed the upper limit (about 2 liters) of the main tank. If it

exceeds the upper limit, the ink will leak out and will cause printer problems.

 When filling the main tank with ink, make sure not to make a mistake with the ink colour and the ink tube

colours. Filling the tank with wrong colour ink can make the print head useless.

 During printing in roll mode, do not touch the media guide. The media guide is hot, and may cause burns

if touched.

 During the winding operation, make sure to keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts.

 Take extreme caution not to have your fingers pinched in the drive when moving the media.

 When cutting the roll media, be careful of the following. Incorrect handling can result in injury to hands

and fingers from the blade.
