2 sAfety

2.1 introduction

This machine has been designed and built with safety of use and maintenance in mind. The safety
applies provided the machine is used as set out in this manual, under the circumstances described
and in compliance with the instructions given. It is therefore crucially important that this manual is
read and the instructions are complied with, by everyone using or maintaining the machine. Used in
any business environment, the employer shall be responsible for ensuring that users are familiar and
comply with the instructions.

Additional safety regulations may apply within the organization or country in which the machine is put
to use. Most likely, these will concern the health and safety of the operators. This manual does not
describe how to comply with any such additional measures but does provide the information about
the machine that is necessary for this purpose. In cases of doubt, please consult your government or

Health and Safety Ofcer.
In this manual, a distinction is made between normal use (see “Operating Instructions” on page 15)

and other work to the machine. The reason is that maintenance work imposes different requirements
on personnel than machine operation, particularly in terms of safety.

The basic maintenance tasks described alongside the operating instructions, can be carried out by

qualied personnel of FP International. Any work not listed under “operating instructions” may
only be carried out by suitably qualied personnel. The items provided to restrict access to certain

machine parts or functions must not be kept with or near the machine. Only persons possessing the
know-how required may have access to such items.

2.2 sAfety feAtures

The machine is tted with the following safety features:

• Cover switch on the housing: the machine is disabled when the cover is open;

• Film feed button: the feed rollers only rotate when the button is pressed;

• Emergency stop (see “Emergency switch” on page 12);

2.3 sAfety rules

• Children and animals must be kept away from the machine!

• Do not reach into the machine while it is operating or has been switched on.

• Even when the machine is not operating, it may be “on”, meaning it may start to operate

automatically. Only in combination with sensor or pedal.

• Safety features may not be removed or disabled.

• Keep the workplace clean and free from obstacles.

• Ensure adequate lighting.

• The safety of the machine may deteriorate with prolonged use. Ensure frequent maintenance.

• Do not use the machine if the safety features are in any way damaged or malfunctioning. Make

sure the machine is repaired.

2.4 unAuthorized use

Please note that the machine is unsuitable for the following purposes:

• The processing of materials other than prescribed in this user manual.

2.5 mAchine users

2.5.1 operAtors (level 1)

In the operating software, this class of user will handle the tasks in the menus “operator”

The machine may only be operated by adults who have familiarized themselves with the chapters

“Safety” and “Operating Instructions” of this manual and will comply with their content.

No special training is required.
Some previous experience in handling this type of equipment is required.
The operator’s duties will generally consist of:

• Fitting new rolls of lm

• Producing strips of lm

• Dening and applying the preset parameters (supervisor only)

• Cleaning the machine (exterior).

2.5.2 mAintenAnce personnel (level 2)

In the operating software, this class of user will handle the tasks in the menu “service”.

Maintenance staff should be aware of the added risk involved in the type of work they are to carry

out. In addition to the requirements listed under “Operators “ above, maintenance personnel

should therefore have:

• an HND in a relevant subject or know-how equivalent to that qualication;

• experience in maintaining machines;

• the necessary resources at their disposal (e.g. tools and measuring equipment).

2.6 workplAce

The denition of and requirements for the workplace are an area of 1 meter at both the front and
the rear of the machine. This provides sufcient room for all operating tasks to be carried out

and allows the machine to be placed over a roller conveyor belt, for example.

2.7 personAl protective equipment

No PPE is required to operate the machine.

2.8 emergency switch

To allow the machine to be stopped as
quickly as possible in case of an emergency,

it has been tted with a clearly recognizable,

bright red emergency switch.
If the emergency switch is pressed in,
the machine will stop instantly.
The switch will remain mechanically disabled,
preventing the machine from restarting.

In case of personal injury, rst aid can then be provided without delay. Other emergency steps

should also be taken immediately.
Once the crisis has been resolved, the emergency switch can be re-enabled. The machine will not

restart automatically and should be started up in the normal manner.
The emergency switch may also be used in suddenly arising cases, for example when the machine

malfunctions or jams materials.
Recommendations:

• Allow novice operators to practise using the emergency switch;

• Regularly test the due functioning of the machine;

• Never re-enable the emergency switch until you are fully convinced that it is safe to do so. Find

out who used the emergency switch and why.

2.9 cAutions on the mAchine

The cautionary notices afxed onto the machine must remain clearly legible. Replace if worn.
The texts are included under “Warnings” on page 28

The risks in question are described more closely in the sections on operating and maintenance
instructions.

2.10 fire And other emergencies

No special instructions apply in case of re or other emergencies. Normally applicable

extinguishing media can be used.
