1. Prior to using this device, be sure to read this Operation manual and become fully familiar

with its operation method and usage cautions.

2. While the plotter is operating (while it is moving or its blades are vibrating), absolutely

never bring any part of your body (face, hands), clothes, or other objects near the flat bed

(cutting panel), as serious injury may result.

Particularly when lifting the head and operating the device without a work piece in order

to check data, one's hand can enter under the head safety cover. As this may cause

serious injury, proceed with great care.

3. The head units (A, B, C) move at high speed. When checking work results or adjusting

work slippage or floating, be sure to stop the device and perform these actions in either

the local mode or with the power switched off.

4. When attaching tools (reciprocal cutter, etc.), be sure to power off the device beforehand.

Attempting to change tools while the power is on presents the risk of unexpected injuries

due to erroneous panel operation, etc.

CAUTION

CF2-0912 CF2-1215 CF2-1218

This device is a first-class information processing device (information processing device that

shall be commissioned in a commercial and industrial area) and conforms to the Voluntary

Control Council Interference (VCCI) standard that has been developed for the purpose of

prevention of radio disturbance in commercial or industrial areas. This device, therefore, can

interfere with radios and televisions if put into service in a residential area and its adjacent

areas. Correct handling procedure shall be followed according to this Operation manual.

In the case where MIMAKI-designated cable is not used for the connection of this device, limits

provided by VCCI rules can be exceeded. To prevent this, use of MIMAKI-designated cable is

essential for the connection of this device.

Interference to televisions and radios

The product covered by this Operation manual produces high frequency waves while it is in opera-

tion. The product can interfere with radios and televisions if set up or commissioned under

improper conditions. The product is not guaranteed against any damage to specific-purpose radio

and televisions. The product’s interference with your radio or television will be checked by turning

off the power to the product.

If the interference is elimiated by turning the product off, the product is the cause of interference.

In the event that the product is the cause of interference, try to elimiate it by taking one of th

following corrective measures or taking some of them in combination.

• Change the direction of the antenna of your radio/television to find one that avoids interference.

• Install your radio/television at a place that is sufficiently spaced from the product.

• Connect the plug of your radio/television into a receptacle that does not share the power supply

with the product.

FOR SAFE OPERATION

Prior to using this device, be sure to read this Operation manual and become fully familiar with its

operation method and usage cautions.

Pictorial signs

Pictorial signs are used in this Operation manual for safe operation of and in

prevention of damages to the device. Pictorial signs and their meanings are given

below. Read and fully understand the following before reading the text.

Indicates the case where it is asumed that misuse of the machine, ignoring this

sign, can expose the operator to danger of injury or death.

Indicates the case where it is assumed that misuse of the machine, ignoring

this sign, can cause danger only to property.

Example of pictorial signs

The symbol “ ” indicates the case where some phenomenon that requires a

CAUTION sign (including “DANGER” and “WARNING” signs) exists. A con-

crete precaution (precaution against an electric shock in the case of the sketch

given on the left) is shown in the illustration.

The symbol “ ” indicates a prohibited behavior. A concrete illustration of

prohibition (disassembly is prohibited on the sketch given on the left) is shown

in or next to the illustration.

The symbol “ ” indicates a thing that is forced to be done and instruction that

is forced to be followed. A concrete illustration of instruction (the removal of a

plug from the receptacle is instructed in the sketch given on the left) is drawn in

the illustration.

The symbol “ ” indicates helpful information that will facilitate the use of

the device.

WARNING

CAUTION

— viii —

Do not disassemble or remodel the device

* Never disassemble or remodel the

main unit of the plotter and the

blower unit. Disassembling/re-

modeling any of them will result in

electric shocks or breakdown of the

device.

Do not use the device in damp places

* Avoid damp environments when

putting the device into service. Do

not splash water onto the device.

High-humidity or water will give

rise to fire, electric shocks or

breakdown of the device.

Abnormal event occurs

* If the device is used under an

abnormal condition where the

device produces smoke or un-

pleasant smell, fire or electric

shocks can result. Be sure to turn

off the power switch immediately

and detach the plug from the

receptacle. Check first to be sure

that the device no longer produces

smoke, and contact a distributor in

your district or MIMAKI office for

repair. Never repair your device by

yourself since it is very dangerous

for you to do so.

Power supply and voltage

* Be sure to use the device with

the power supply specifications

indicated.

Be sure to connect the plug of

the power cable to a grounded

receptacle.

If not, fire or electric shocks can

result.

Handling of the cable

* Take care not to damage, break or

work on the power cable or com-

munication cable. If a heavy matter

is placed on the power cable, heated

or drawn, the power cable can break

to cause fire or electric shocks.

Handling of tools

* Store cutter holders or blades in a

place that is out of the reach of

children. Never place cutter holders

or blades in the tray on the operation

panel.

Preventive measure against dust

* When handling any dust-producing

substance that will jeopardize the

health of personnel, wear a mask or

the like to prevent dust.

Leave maintenance to a serviceman

* Leave maintenance works to a ser-

viceman whenever the device has

broken. Never conduct maintenance

works by yourself since the works

are always accompanied by

possible risks of electric shocks, etc.
