Safe Operation Practices
General Operation
．Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the manual and on the machine before
starting. Keep this manual in a safe place for further and regular reference and for ordering
replacement parts.
．Only allow people who familiar with the instructions to operate the machine. Be sure to
know controls and how to stop the machine quickly.
．Do not put your hands near moving parts.
．Remove all obstacles, which may interfere with the machine functions.
．Clear the work area such as electrical wires, gloves, knives etc.
．Be sure that everyone else is clear of your work area before operating the machine.
．Do not sit nor stand on the machine.
．Be sure turn off the machine after your work is finished. Never leave a running machine
unattended.
．Always disconnect and wait until the machine has cooled before doing any maintenance.
．Do not wear loose fitting clothes or jewelry as they may get caught in moving parts of the
machine.
．Please wear security shoes, to avoid injury caused by moving the machine or objects falling
from the machine.
．Never exceed the time limit to seal, which is suggested by the manufacturer. This is to avoid
any damage that may be caused to the sealing bars and to reduce the risk of fire in the
machine.
．Never touch the sealing bars after they have been used, this will avoid corporal burns. Wait a
few minutes to let the machine cool down before touching.
．Make sure the sealing bars are well installed in their “Guide Blocks” before starting package.
．Never incline the machine more than 30 degrees, it may tip over and hurt someone seriously.

4.1.8 Usage of the adjusting valve and FRL
4.1.8.1 Adjusting valve (C10):
1. Connect the air inlet.
2. Pull up the adjusting knob to adjust the required pressure (rotate clockwise to
increase the pressure, and counterclockwise to reduce the pressure). Then, push
it down.

13
4.1.8.2 FRL (C6):
1. Connect the air inlet.
2. Pull up the adjusting knob to adjust the required pressure (rotate clockwise to
increase the pressure, and counterclockwise to reduce the pressure). Then, push
it down. If the lubricant (5#) level is lower than “MIN” mark after a period of
time, fill the lubricant to “MAX” level.
3. After working, remove the air supply to drain out the water inside the filter thru
the water outlet automatically. If it can not drain out automatically, please
remove the filter cup for drain out the water manually.
If you do not clean the water inside the filter, it would cause the
non-smooth of the cylinder’s working and shorten the cylinder’s life.
4.1.9 The way to install and remove the filter cup：
1. Pull down the lock on the cup.
2. Turn the cup to the leftward about 45 degree to pull it down for removing.
3. To refer the opposite of the removing way for installing it again.。
