In order to heat and warm only the amount of water required in immediate future and to reduce a power consumption by avoiding warming of unnecessary water, a main body provided with a water storage container and a water heating container can be attached and detached and a water heating amount or a water warming amount to be heated at one time is reduced and divided, thus, power consumption during warming is reduced. Furthermore, since the water storage container is provided independently, water supply can be carried out conveniently regardless of the state of the water-heating container. Water supply to the water-heating container is carried out automatically using a water amount sensor, hence no operation by a user is required.

A sub control panel for use in maintenance work has a control switch, enable switches and manipulation prohibition members. The sub control panel is configured such that the control switch is not activated unless the enable switches are being kept ON by one hand of the operator and the operator is prevented by the manipulation prohibition members from manipulating with the one hand from turning ON the enable switches. When the sub control panel is to be used, the operator must use both hands and is hindered from inserting both hands to a driven part of a machine to be subjected to maintenance work when the machine is operating.

A substrate supply apparatus includes a substrate-accommodating section for accommodating a substrate on which electronic components are to be mounted, a substrate-width-adjusting device, a transporting device, a substrate-sucking device, and an elevating device. The accommodating section has substrate-width-regulating sections a distance between which can be adjusted in a width direction of the substrate. The adjusting device adjusts the distance between the regulating sections by moving one of the regulating sections in the width direction. The transporting device is supported by the regulating sections, has a pair of rails, is arranged above the accommodating section, and transports the substrate to an electronic component-mounting apparatus. The sucking device has a long substrate-sucking arm and a plurality of short substrate-sucking arms. Each of the substrate-sucking short arms is position-changeably installed on the long substrate-sucking arm. The elevating device supports and vertically moves the sucking device so that the sucking device transfers the substrate to the transporting device. The elevating device is disposed at a center of a space between the pair of rails in the width direction.
