Safety
Read this manual carefully and make it available to everyone connected with the
supervision, maintenance, or operation of this machine. Additional copies are available
on request (Eastey.com/contact-us).
The development of a good safety program that is rigidly enforced is absolutely
imperative when involved in the operation of industrial equipment. Our machinery is well
designed and includes extremely important safety features. However, proper
installation, regular maintenance, and safe operation procedures are of far greater
importance for safety of the operator and others than our design. Only properly-trained
individuals following rigidly enforced safety rules, as recommended by ANSI and OSHA
should be allowed to operate these machines.
Be very careful when operating, adjusting, or servicing this equipment. If in doubt, stop
and obtain qualified help before proceeding.
General Safety Precautions
Before installing, operating or servicing this equipment, please read the following
precautions carefully:
•Always disconnect electrical power before attempting maintenance for any electrical
or moving parts. Do not place hands, head, or any part of the body inside the
confines of the machine unless the mechanism is securely fastened and the
electrical supply is shut off.
•Do not tamper with electrical wiring. Use only the specified power-supply cable. Use
only licensed electricians to check or repair electrical wiring.
•In order to prevent damage to the machinery or injury to personnel, do not increase
the factory settings on either the electrical or mechanical overload safety devices.
Do not operate a machine if such modifications have been made.
•Keep hands away from moving conveyors and moving parts. Conveyor belts that
have become worn or frayed can be hazardous and should be replaced promptly.
•Never operate this or any moving equipment without all covers and guards in place.
The internal mechanism of most packaging machinery contains numerous shear,
pinch, and in-running nip points, many of which are capable of causing severe injury
and permanent disfiguration.

8Safety
•To minimize the potential for personal injury, always be sure that the machine
operators and others working on the machinery are properly trained in the correct
usage of the equipment and properly instructed regarding the safety procedures for
operation.
•Tunnel sides and conveyor surfaces can become very hot after a period of use.
Keep hands away while in operation and use caution if the machine has been
running recently.
•Do not make any modifications to either the electrical circuitry or the mechanical
assemblies of this machinery. Such modifications may introduce hazards that would
not otherwise be associated with this machinery. Eastey Corporation will not be
responsible for any consequences resulting from such unauthorized modification. Do
not operate a machine if any modification has been made
•This equipment is designed for indoor operation in a typical clean, dry factory
environment. Do not operate the machine in any extremely wet or oily environment
that may exceed operating specifications. Outdoor use is not recommended.
•The use of certain types of plastic films in sealing and/or shrink-wrapping equipment
may result in the release of hazardous fumes due to 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. Adequate ventilation should be provided at all
times.
•Keep combustible materials away from this equipment. The equipment may be a
source of ignition.
•Do not wear loose clothing such as ties, scarves, jewelry, etc. Long hair should be
pulled back and/or covered while operating this machine.
