BROTHER P-TOUCH D200 (01) PDF SUMMARY:
What should I do to avoid the risk of fire, burns, injury, electric shocks, rupture, overheating, abnormal odors, or smoke?
Always use the specified voltage and the recommended AC adapter for the P-touch labeller to prevent any damage or failure. Do not touch the P-touch labeller during a lightning storm. Do not use the machine/AC adapter in places of high humidity (such as bathrooms). Do not overload the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on, or damage the power cord or plug. Do not forcibly bend or pull the power cord. Always hold the AC adapter carefully when disconnecting from the power outlet. Make sure that the plug is fully inserted in the power outlet. Do not use an outlet that is loose. Do not allow the machine/AC adapter/power plug/batteries to get wet, for example, by handling them with wet hands or spilling beverages onto them. Since loss of eyesight may result when leaked fluid from batteries gets into your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with a large amount of clean water, and then seek medical attention.

Do not disassemble or modify the P-touch labeller/AC adapter/batteries. Do not allow a metal object to contact both the plus and minus ends of a battery. Do not use sharp objects, such as tweezers or a metallic pen, to change the batteries. Do not throw the batteries into fire or expose to heat.

Disconnect the AC adapter, remove batteries immediately, and stop using the machine if you notice abnormal odor, heat, discoloration, deformation, or anything unusual while using or storing it.
What precautions should I take when handling batteries?
Do not use a damaged or leaking battery, as the fluid may get on your hands. Do not use a deformed or leaking battery or one whose label is damaged, because there is a possibility of generating heat. If leaked fluid from batteries gets onto your skin or clothes, immediately rinse them with clean water.
What should I do with the P-touch labeller when it is not being used?
When the machine is not being used, store it out of the reach of children. Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use the P-touch labeller.
