• 

use of eight identical original UNIFLEX dies with the same label 
or seven dies and one associated marking crimping die. 

• 

The machine must not be operated by persons not capable of 
operating the machine without any risk. These may include: 

  persons with physical or mental disabilities; 

  children and persons under age; 

  persons with a restricted capability for the operation of ma-

chines (e.g. under the influence of drugs, alcohol or narcot-
ics) 

Use of the control in compliance with the intended purpose also inclu-
des compliance with the instructions in this Operation Manual. 

Use for other than the intended purpose 

Any other use is considered as being not in compliance with the in-
tended purpose, in particular: 
• 

design modification of the machine; 

• 

use in explosive environments; 

• 

forming of non-metal workpieces without specific safeguards ap-
proved by UNIFLEX; 

• 

misuse of consumables and waste materials. 

In particular non-metal workpieces may by overstressed by the for-
ming process so that this may result in a sudden failure. Chips or se-
riously accelerated workpiece parts impose a high risk potential for 
operators, individuals and objects, even outside the working area. 

 

 

WARNING!

 

 

Risk for life and health! 

Use not in compliance with the intended purpose imposes risks 
for life and health. Consequences resulting from use for other 
than the intended purpose shall be under the sole responsibility 
of the owner. 
•  Always use the machine in compliance with its intended pur-

pose.
