SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS – HEAT SEALING EQUIPMENT
A.
Protection against hazards arising from the electrical equipment
1.
Safety warnings and instructions in the operators instruction sheets and
attached to the machine should be followed with care.
2.
The equipment has an earthed power cable with integral 13-amp fuse
to BS 1363/A fitted with a 5-amp fuse. The panel mounted fuse holder
on the machine is fitted with a 3.15 antisurge fuse for additional
protection. If either fuse fails the reason should be investigated and the
machine inspected and tested to ensure that there are no causative
faults. Higher value fuses must not be used, as they do not provide the
required level of protection.
3.
Ensure that the power is switched off and the cable plug is removed
from the supply outlet before any servicing is undertaken on the
product.
4.
Increased user safety can be achieved if a residual current device
(RCD) is used in the supply circuit to the heat sealer. This applies
particularly in damp conditions but the equipment must not be allowed
to get wet, either from sealing liquids, cleaning or inclement weather.
Only specially designed water-resistant sealers should be used in
these circumstances. Electrical components and internal wiring, unlike
the element assembly, are not all protected by the low voltage safety
transformer, which powers the element.
5.
Switch off the power supply when the machine is not attended.
6.
The equipment should be regularly serviced and subjected to Portable
Appliance Test procedures in accordance with the Health and Safety
Electricity At Work regulations 1989.
7.
It is essential that only approved spares are used for servicing this
equipment. Incorrect element wire can result in excessive electrical
load on internal components, which can lead, to malfunction and
failure.
Note
Hulme Martin Heat Sealing equipment satisfies the Health and Safety
requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994, CE Low
Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC
