2.2 Qualified personnel
Our definition of "qualified personnel" in this context is "personnel with a thorough knowledge of the
equipment itself and how to operate and maintain it safely". Qualified personnel must be physically fit
enough to perform the necessary tasks, have a good knowledge of all the relevant safety precautions
and be trained to install, operate and/or maintain the equipment safely. The company using the
equipment is responsible for ensuring that the personnel comply with these conditions.
2.3 Accident prevention
1. Before starting to work with the installation, the manual must first be studied.
2. Use of the installation by unauthorised personnel is prohibited.
•
3. Never allow persons to use the equipment if they are under the influence of medication that
may impair reaction times or are not in physically fit condition for operating the installation.
4. Ensure at all times that work / maintenance / service on the installation is done safely and
without voltage. Make sure that the installation cannot be switched on accidentally by locking
the main switch.
5. Safety guards must be checked before starting the machine – they may not be loose or
removed. This also applies to the foot protection under the film carriage.
•
6. If it is necessary to remove any safety device to allow installation, repairs or maintenance, the
safety device must be replaced immediately after completing the task.
•
7. Keep limbs and clothes away from rotating parts. Do not wear neckties or loosely hanging
clothes when using or maintaining machines with rotating parts. Remove wristwatches, chains
and similar jewellery. Cover or tie up long hair before carrying out any task on or with the
machine.
•
8. Only machines with a suitable protection rating may be used in humid conditions.
•
9. Do not use the equipment in an area with risk of explosion.
•
10. Always use the equipment in a well-ventilated space.
•
11. If a pneumatic hold-down plate is used, the supply air line will remain under pressure when
entering the danger zone. Other parts will become voltage / energy-free.
Dangerous situations may result from failure to comply with the
conditions listed above.

3Use
3.1 Intended use
The fully automatic wrapping machine, hereinafter also referred to simply as “the installation”, may
only be used for wrapping pallets of the suitable products that meet the data as stated in the
description. In case of doubt, the manufacturer must be consulted for permission.
Using the installation in any way other than specified in the description can lead to danger, e.g. it can
damage the wrapping machine and/or threaten the safety of operator or other persons near the
installation.
To ensure safety, all personnel must read these operating instructions thoroughly before commissioning
the installation, troubleshooting or performing maintenance.
We would like to call your attention to chapter 2 Safety, which specifies the intended use and the unsafe
situations that cannot be prevented through the design and manufacture of the machine.
3.2 Improper use
The installation may not be used in the following situations:
•When it is in poor condition
•In an environment with risk of explosion (unless the machine is specially adapted)
•With unsuitable materials and consumables
•Without full compliance with the values specified under "Technical data".
•In a humid environment
The following materials may not be processed in the installation:
•Materials presenting a risk of explosion or fire
•Caustic and corrosive materials
•Foodstuffs (unless the machine is specially adapted)
3.3 Intended use
The installation is intended for industrial applications.

3.4 Other risks
In terms of design and construction, everything has been done to protect users from possible dangers.
However, some risks cannot be entirely eliminated. Users must be aware of the following:
•The risk of entering a dangerous area
•Control line cylinder pressure plate remains under pressure in all cases
•Control line of the film clamp remains under pressure (for turntable winder with 90 ° infeed
or outfeed).
The risk of entering a dangerous area
It is possible to enter dangerous areas when loading and unloading products.
Attention: Prohibited for unauthorised personnel!
Risk of entering a dangerous area.
3.5 The scope of this manual
This manual is only valid in combination with all the other documentation included in the user manual.
For special versions, this manual may be supplemented with extra specifications and/or additional
documentation.
The images only show the installation's essential parts.

4Installation
Attention:
Only allow qualified personnel to perform the following tasks. Observe all
the safety instructions in this manual and all other relevant documentation.
4.1 Unpacking
Unpack the installation carefully and check for any transport damage. Retain the pallet, fixings and
wrapping material for possible future transport or dispose of it in accordance with the appropriate
waste handling regulations.
4.2 Transport
•For weight specifications check the “Machine specific manual”. Only use suitable lifting gear.
•Protect the installation from damage, damp and dust, using suitable packing materials.
•Avoid bumps and shocks.
4.3 Storage
Do not store the installation outdoors! Protect it against dust and fluctuating temperatures
(condensation formation).
4.4 Waste disposal
When the installation reaches the end of its working life or there is no further use for it, the
equipment should be handled according to the currently valid waste disposal regulations.
4.5 Installing
Only install the installation in a location that conforms to the stated safety classification. Install the
installation in a well-ventilated space. Do not put it in an area with any risk of explosion!
Protect the installation against vibration. Remove transport protection materials (when present).
Make sure there is enough free room, especially above the installation. Check the "Machine specific
manual" for dimensions.

4.6 Electrical connection
Attention:
Hazardous electrical voltage. Failure to observe warnings and safety measures
may result in a fatal accident, personal injury or damage to equipment.
-Connecting to a power source:
•The preferred way to connect the installation is via a power cable with a plug, connected to an
earthed mains socked that is protected by a circuit breaker or fuse.
•The power supply must, in principle, comply with applicable requirements regarding
acceptable voltage variations, ripple, attenuation of higher harmonics, etc.
4.7 Mounting
Attention:
All of these activities may only be performed under the supervision of
qualified personnel from the manufacturer or an authorised representative!
-The concrete floor must be completely flat and horizontal within the tolerances set by the
installation
-Anchor machine parts to concrete floor.

5Maintenance
Attention:
-Switch off the main switch and secure it with a padlock before performing
any maintenance on the installation.
-Ensure that no one else can switch on the installation.
-Ensure that safety guards and suchlike are installed when the installation is
activated.
5.1 General
Preventive maintenance will ensure that the installation has a longer working life. This means that the
condition of various parts of the installation must be inspected on a weekly, monthly or annual basis.
The environmental conditions will affect the service life. The specified maintenance frequency applies to
normal operational conditions (8 hours per day, 5 days per week, at 20C, in a clean environment).
When subjected to more demanding conditions we recommend performing maintenance more
frequently. Ensure that moving parts are free of dirt.
Please refer to the maintenance schedule in section 5.2.1 Maintenance schedule for information about the
maintenance frequency required for the different systems and parts.
5.2 Spare parts
The parts lists for the machine parts describe the parts used, which can be ordered as spare parts.
Bij bestelling van onderdelen dient op het volgende gelet te worden:
1Provide the machine's serial number.
2For electrical parts, provide the (schematic) position number, description, article number and
manufacturer's name.
3For mechanical parts, provide the drawing number, position number, article number and
description.
To facilitate the rapid repair of a possible malfunction, we recommend keeping a number of spare
parts in stock.
