SAFETY
WORK AREA
•Keep the work area clean and well lit.
•Place the machine on a flat, dry surface.
•Do not operate machine in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Do not place flammable materials in, on or around the machine.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
•The power plug must match the outlet and the outlet must be appropriately grounded. Do not modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs or extension cords.
•Do not expose the machine to wet conditions.
•For installation and maintenance work, the machine must always be turned off by the main switch and be disconnected from the main power connection.
•All safety, protective measures and facilities must be applied and maintained in accordance with IEC instructions.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•Prevent accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
•There is an extremely sharp knife blade under the air injector assembly. Strictly adhere to the blade replacement instructions on page 8.
•The film is sealed by using a heated wire that is located under a Teflon® belt. This wire gets very hot and may cause burns if touched. Switch the machine off and allow the wire 2-3 minutes to cool before performing any operation exposing the wire. Follow provided instructions, page 7, for replacement of Teflon® belts.
USE AND CARE
•Switch machine off and disconnect the plug from the power source before performing any operation to the machine. This includes replacing film, cleaning or maintenance.
•The machine requires periodic cleaning. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts and any other condition that may affect the operation. Do not operate a damaged machine.
•This system was designed for processing a specific film type. In order to guarantee smooth function, only replace with Uline Air Cushion Machine film.
•In emergency situations, turn the power switch off. The machine will be switched off within a few seconds (when indicator is turned off completely). After eliminating the emergency situation or fault,
the machine can be switched on again according to the user manual.
