•If the power cord becomes dam-
aged (core is exposed, wires bro- ken, etc.), contact your SATO reseller or technical support cen- ter. Using the power cord in this condition could cause a fire or electric shock.

the event something is abnormal about it, such as smoke or unusual smells coming from it, could result in fire or electric shock. Immediately turn off the power switch, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and contact your SATO reseller or technical support center for repairs. It is dangerous for the customer to try to repair it, so absolutely do not attempt repairs on your own.
Do not disassemble the printer
