Safety
Read this manual carefully and make it available to everyone connected with the
supervision, maintenance, or operation of this machine. Additional copies are available
on request (Eastey.com/contact-us).
The development of a good safety program that is rigidly enforced is absolutely
imperative when involved in the operation of industrial equipment. Our machinery is well
designed and includes extremely important safety features. However, proper
installation, regular maintenance, and safe operation procedures are of far greater
importance for safety of the operator and others than our design. Only properly-trained
individuals following rigidly enforced safety rules, as recommended by ANSI and OSHA
should be allowed to operate these machines.
Be very careful when operating, adjusting, or servicing this equipment. If in doubt, stop
and obtain qualified help before proceeding.
General Safety Precautions
Before installing, operating or servicing this equipment, please read the following
precautions carefully:
•
Always disconnect electrical power before attempting maintenance for any electrical
or moving parts. Do not place hands, head, or any part of the body inside the
confines of the machine unless the mechanism is securely fastened and the
electrical supply is shut off.
•
Do not tamper with electrical wiring. Use only the specified power-supply cable. Use
only licensed electricians to check or repair electrical wiring.
•
In order to prevent damage to the machinery or injury to personnel, do not increase
the factory settings on either the electrical or mechanical overload safety devices.
Do not operate a machine if such modifications have been made.
•
Keep hands away from moving conveyors and moving parts. Conveyor belts that
have become worn or frayed can be hazardous and should be replaced promptly.
•
Never operate this or any moving equipment without all covers and guards in place.
The internal mechanism of most packaging machinery contains numerous shear,
pinch, and in-running nip points, many of which are capable of causing severe injury
and permanent disfiguration.
