Do not put your fingers into the area of the tension wheel of the
sealing head and into the ChainLance.

Reversing sledge, risk of crushing

Especially around the entire surroundings of the reversing sledge,
there is a risk of squeezing.

Hazardous area, risk of crushing and risk of injury

Make sure before each strapping cycle, there is no person in the
hazardous area (especially of the ChainLance) and nobody can enter
that area. This is due, especially for the limited or bad visible area, on
the opposite site of the pallet (users view). During strapping, there
must not be any hands or body parts between strap and goods.

Power source, risk of injury

Before maintenance or repair works: Switch main switch to “0” and

unplug the cable from the battery.

Intended use
This strapping system is designed for strapping pallets/ loading carriers. The

strapping system has been developed and constructed for safe operation

when strapping.

The system is only to be used for strapping with plastic straps
(polypropylene and polyester). Strapping with a steel strap is not possible
with this strapping system.

The system is not designed to strap aliments which are not packaged.

The set up tension force must correspond to the packaged goods to be
strapped. The construction of the strapping system does not consider any
risk to damage goods, because of the strapping itself and/ or improper set
tension force.

3.1 Safety regulations for battery pack and
charger

• Check the plug and the cable before each use and have them replaced
by a specialist if they are damaged

• Do not use any batteries from other manufacturers, use original spare
parts only.

• Keep the connection plug to the battery pack away from non-related
objects and dirt.

• Protect the charger from moisture; operate it in dry rooms only.
