If flammable substances come intocontact with a high-voltage area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electricalshock.• There are some areas inside the machine which are subject to high-voltages. Whenremoving jammed paper, or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allownecklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine, asthis may result in burns or electrical shock.• Do not burn or throw used toner bottles into open flames, as this may cause the tonerremaining inside the bottles to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.CAUTION• The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the machine may become hot during use.When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do nottouch the fixing unit and its surroundings, as doing so may result in burns orelectrical shock.• When removing jammed paper or replacing the toner bottle, take care not to allow thetoner to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your handsor clothing.
