Precautions for Correct Use Handling • The molded components of the Switch use polyacetal resin and ABS resin. It is recommended that alcohol is used to wipe off dirt and smudges from the molded components. Take care to prevent the alcohol from getting inside. • A7P Thumbwheel Switches are dust-proof, but they are not drip- proof. Do not use them in areas subject to water or oil exposure. • Do not allow solder flux or alcohol to enter the Switch. • Do not push the (+) and (-) operating push-buttons at the same time. http://www.ia.omron.com/ (c)Copyright OMRON Corporation 2007 All Rights Reserved. 4 Safety Precautions for All Thumbwheel Switches For precautionary information on individual products, refer to Safety Precautions in the relevant section. WARNING Electric shock may possibly occur. Do not perform wiring work or touch the charged parts of terminals while power is supplied to the Switch.
