Safety
Follow the normal safety precautions for all office equipment:
•
Use only Pitney Bowes approved supplies, in particular aerosol
dusters. Improper storage and use of aerosol dusters or flammable
aerosol dusters, can cause an explosive-like condition that could result
in a personal injury and/or property damage. Never use aerosol dusters
labeled flammable and always read instructions and safety precautions
on the duster container label.
•
Material Safety Data Sheets can be obtained on the web or from
our Supply Line™. Refer to the Contact Information List for more
information.
•
Avoid touching moving parts or materials while the machine is in use.
Keep hands, loose clothing, jewelry and long hair away from all moving
parts.
•
Do not remove covers or defeat safety interlock switches. Covers
enclose hazardous parts that should only be accessed by properly
trained service personnel. Immediately report to service any damaged
or non-functioning components that renders the unit unsafe.
•
Place the unit in an accessible location to allow for proper venting of
the equipment and to facilitate servicing.
•
Use the AC adaptor/power supply included with this letter opener.
Third-party adaptors may damage the letter opener.
•
Connect the AC adaptor into a wall outlet located near the machine and
easily accessible.
•
The AC adaptor is the primary means to disconnect the machine from
the AC supply.
•
Do not route the AC adaptor cords over sharp edges or trapped
between furniture.
•
Be certain the area in front of the wall outlet into which the AC adaptor
is connected is free from obstruction.
•
Before clearing a jam, be sure machine mechanisms come to a stop.
•
When removing jammed material, avoid using too much force to protect
against minor personal injury and damaging equipment.
•
To prevent overheating, do not cover the vent openings.
•
Avoid using wall outlets that are controlled by wall switches, or shared
with other equipment. If a wall outlet controlled by a wall switch is used,
mail could be interrupted if the letter opener is plugged in when the wall
switch is used to turn power off.
