Safety
Always disconnect electrical power before attempting maintenance to any electrical or
moving parts. Do not tamper with electrical wiring.
Keep hands away from moving conveyors and assemblies.
Never operate this or any moving equipment without all covers and guards in place.
Do not increase the factory settings on either the mechanical or electrical overload
devices.

Adequate ventilation should be provided at all times. The use of certain types of plastic
film in sealing or shrinking equipment may result in the release of hazardous fumes due
to the result of degradation of the film at high temperatures. Before using any plastic film
in this equipment, the manufacturer or supplier of the film should be contacted for
specific information concerning the potential release of hazardous fumes.
