When unplugging the power cord, grasp it firmly by its plug. Do not pull directly on the power cord, as this may damage or expose the cord's internal wiring, resulting in a fire or electric shock.

Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be unplugged easily. If objects are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to unplug it in an emergency.

Do not allow water or flammable substances (alcohol, paint thinner, benzene, etc.) to spill into the scanner, as this may result in a fire or electric shock. Doing so might cause a fire or electric shock.

Push the power button to turn the scanner OFF for safety when not using the scanner for a long period of time, such as overnight. Also, push the power switch to turn it OFF, and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet for safety when the machine will not be used for an extended period of time, such as during consecutive holidays.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that may get caught in the scanner while you are using it, as this may result in personal injury. Be extra careful of neckties and long hair. If anything becomes caught in the scanner, immediately disconnect the power cord to stop the scanner.

Be careful when loading paper into the scanner and when removing jammed paper, as it is possible to cut your hand on the edge of a sheet of paper.
