Chapter 1. Description EN

1.1. Preface

This manual has been drawn up in compliance with the UNI 10893 standard dated July 2000. It is meant for all users in
order to enable them to use the machine correctly. Keep it in a place which can be easily accessed in the proximity of the
machine and which is known to all users. This manual is an integral part of the machine for safety reasons. We wish to
specify the symbols in use here below in order to improve their understanding.

All reproduction rights of this manual are reserved to the manufacturer. Partial or complete reproduction is forbidden as
provided by the law. Descriptions and pictures provided in this manual are not binding. Therefore the manufacturer,
reserves the right to make any change considered necessary. This manual cannot be transferred for viewing to third
parties without authorisation in writing from the manufacturing company.

1.2. Performances of packaging machine

This machine represents what the modern technology of vacuum-packing may express at its best. It is flexible, easily
programmable and cheap. It is intended to vacuum-pack foodstuffs by removing oxygen as well as any chemical and
biological pollutant present in the environment. To attain the vacuum level you wish, just program the machine in order to
remove almost all the air contained in the packet. Your product will preserve its organoleptic features, colour, taste,
flavour and nutritive value for a long time.

1.3. Technical data of the machine

ATTENTION:
Accident prevention rules for the operator. This warning indicates the presence of dangers which can
injure the person operating on the machine.
ATTENTION:
Hot parts. Shows the danger of burning, thus involving the risk of a serious accident for the exposed
person.

WARNING:
It indicates the possibility of damaging the machine and/or its components.

Chapter 4. Safety standards EN

4.1. Warnings

It is extremely important to read this entire chapter as it contains important information regarding risks that personnel are
subject to in the event of incorrect use of the machine. These basic standards must be observed as well as specific
standards applicable in the country of installation.

 The machine must be installed by trained and authorised technicians.
 This machine is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning

use of the machine by a person responsible for their safety.

 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the machine.
 Keep children and animals away from the machine when running. Do not allow children to play with the pouches.
 The machine must be used only for the purpose it was built for. Any other use shall be considered “improper” and

therefore dangerous.

 Never allow unauthorised personnel to perform repairs or other operations on the machinery.
 The operator must be familiar with all warnings related to the tasks in hand and always be informed by the head of

the site regarding risks.

 Ensure that all clothing is tight fitting, with particular reference to cuffs or other loose clothing.
 Ensure that all operating areas and transit zones are kept clear, clean and adequately lit at all times.
 Eliminate all safety hazard conditions before using the machine and always notify the head personnel of any

malfunction.

18

Chapter 4. Safety standards EN

 Never use the machine in the event of fault.
 Never tamper with safety devices or circuits.
 Never perform modifications on the machine without prior authorisation from the manufacturer.
 If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or

its service agent.

 The electrical enclosure must remain closed during operation.
 Smoking is forbidden while the machine is operating!
 Never performs maintenance and/or adjustments to the machine during operation. Guards may only be

disassembled by suitably trained and qualified maintenance engineers.

 Never operate the machine without all guards fitted. Ensure correct position of all guards before resuming normal

operation.

 If it is necessary to leave the machine unattended, switch it off by turning the main switch to the “0” (OFF) position!
 The manufacturer declines all liability for damage or phisical injury caused by failure to observe safety standards.

THE MACHINE CAN NOT BE USED BY UNTRAINED PERSONNEL!

During work pay attention to all hot parts of the machine. The temperature they can reach is so high
that it can cause burns.

Never use gaseous mixtures in presence of oxygen in a percentage higher than the atmospheric one
(~ 19%).

Do not touch the sealing blade (16) immediately after sealing.
Danger of burns due to hot blade.

Do not seal if the sealing wire is broken.

Replace it immediately.

Do not touch the vacuum pump (23) just after a working cycle.
Possibility of burning due to the high temperature the pump
may reach.

In case of a power failure during a working cycle when the
cover is closed, do not use any tool in order to force its opening.
Wait for the power supply to be restored.

Do not place any weight on the cover (18)!
Prevent any object from falling on the cover!
This can compromise the integrity, causing cracks or damage.

Do not proceed with packaging if the cover has cracks or is
broken.

Replace it immediately.

For mod. MV26 X only.
Before any working cycle make sure that the closing hook (19)
will not prevent the operator from closing the cover correctly.
Possibility of breaking the cover.
