Important Safeguards
Both the upper and lower taping heads have important safeguards listed below, every person who operates
and/or maintains the heads should be familiar with these safeguards.
The “Warning - Sharp Knife” label is used
on each head to warn operators and service
personnel of the extremely sharp blades used
to cut the tape at the end of the box sealing
operation. The label shown in Figure 1-1 is
located on the blade guard assembly
between the applying roller assembly and the
buffing roller assembly. Before working with
the tape heads or attempting to load the tape,
refer to Figures 4-1 and 4-2 and identify the
knife blade location. Keeps hands out of
these areas except as necessary to
service the taping heads.
The “Tape Threading" labels, shown in
Figure 1-3, are attached to the right side of the
frame on both the upper and lower taping
heads. The top label is for the upper head,
and the bottom label is for the lower head.
These labels provide a convenient tape
threading diagram. More detailed tape loading
and threading information is provided in this
manual in the set-up procedure section.
The “Caution - Keep Hands Out of This
Area” labels, shown in Figure 1-2 is
attached to the frame and located behind the
slide mechanism. The top label is for the
upper head, and the bottom label is for the
lower head. This warns operators to
keep hands and objects out of this area when
the taping head mechanism is in operation.
The taping heads are equipped with an orange
blade guard that covers the blade. The
taping head should never be operated with
the blade guard removed.
Turn air and electrical supplies off before
servicing the taping heads.
The taping heads should not be washed down
or subjected to conditions causing moisture
condensation on components.
