3. General Safety Remarks
(1) Basic Operation
The machine is only to be operated when in good running condition and in accordance
with the instructions provided in the operation manual. Operators must be trained in
proper operation and safety of the equipment.
The machine may only be operated in accordance with its designated use.
(2) Basic Safety Precautions
In addition to the instructions for operation, the user is to be instructed in all generally
applicable legal or mandatory regulations relevant to safety or the environment.
Long hair, loose-fitting garments, or jewelry can be a safety hazard. These items must be
secured prior to equipment operation.
Use protective equipment whenever appropriate or when required by law.
Carefully observe all safety instructions and warnings attached to the machine. Keep
safety labels clean and legible.
People that are being trained to operate or service the equipment must be supervised by
experienced personnel.
Any electrical work performed on the equipment must be conducted by a skilled
electrician or under the supervision of a skilled electrician. All work must observe good
electrical engineering practice and follow safety rules and local wiring standards.
(3) Safety Instructions Governing Specific Operational Phases
Avoid unsafe operation of the equipment.
The machine is only to be operated when it is in good running order. Only operate the
equipment in a safe manner; all protective and safety devices must be in place and fully
functional. This includes removable safety devices, emergency shut-off equipment,
noise-protection devices and exhaust fans.
The machine is to be checked for damage and defects at least once each work shift. Any
changes, including the working behavior of the machine, are to be reported immediately. If
necessary, the machine is to be stopped and locked-out immediately.
In case of a malfunction, the strapping machine is to be immediately stopped and
locked-out until the fault has been eliminated.

-5-
Before starting the strapping machine, make sure that the area is clear and safe.
Operating personnel need to be briefed before executing special operations and
maintenance work; this work needs to be done with the proper supervision.
Always check and tighten connections after maintenance or repair.
After completing maintenance or repair, all safety devices must be replaced and checked
for functionality before operating the equipment.
To minimize the environmental impact, all consumables and replaced parts must be
disposed of safely.
Before starting the machine, check that the accessories have been stowed away safely.
Avoid operating the machine in a fashion that could upset its stability.
(4) Warning of Electrical Dangers
Electrical Energy
Immediately remove power to the machine in case of trouble in the electrical system.
Replace a fuse with one with the same style and ratings; pay particular attention to
matching the specified current.
Any electrical work performed on the equipment must be conducted by a skilled
electrician or under the supervision of a skilled electrician. All work must observe good
electrical engineering practice and follow safety rules and local wiring standards.
Inspect the electrical equipment of the machine at regular intervals. Tighten any loose
connections. Check wiring for scorch marks; replace scorched wiring and determine and
correct the reason for the overheating.
When working on live equipment, ensure that a second person is available to cut power in
case of an emergency. When appropriate, secure the working area with safety tape and a
warning sign. Use insulated tools for electrical work.
Before working on high-voltage assemblies, turn off the power supply. Carefully discharge
the supply cable and short-circuit any energy-storage components such as capacitors.
If the equipment was moved, carefully refit and refasten all parts removed for transport
before reapplying power.
Before moving the machine, remember to disconnect the power cable.

(5) Grounding Instructions Shall Include the FollowinŨ
ŨŨ
Ũ
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord that has a
grounding wire and an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, connect the ground wire to the
ground terminal of the plug. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes)
is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not
clear or if in doubt about the proper grounding of the machine. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it will not fit the power outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
DANGER!
Improper installation of the grounding can result in electrocution
