SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR STRAPPING TOOLS
Eyes and hand protection
Strapping tool must be used by one operator at time.
When using packaging straps it is advisable to wear safety glasses with side protectors. The non-observance of this rule may cause dangerous wounds
to eyes and severe injuries to the sight. It is also compulsory to wear protection gloves against occasional sharp-edged strap.
Acoustic Protection
Wear hearing protection.
Body protection
Wear safety shoes and working uniform.
Cut of tightened straps
The cutting of tightened straps must be made exclusively by suitable scissors. The use of other tools, such as, box cutters, blades and/or tongs, may be
dangerous.
When operating, it is advised to keep to a safe distance and to make sure that nobody else is standing in the tools working area because, after cutting,
strap may quickly slip away.
Danger caused by incorrect sealing
It is essential to check that package sealing is perfect. An incorrect seal is surely not reliable and exposes both goods and packing operators to risks.
As it is your responsibility to make a correct seal, we suggest you learn how to make the best possible seal by checking the instructions, given in this
manual.
Strap unrolling
Strap must be unrolled by suitable un-roller.
Use of package for different purposes
It is absolutely forbidden to lift, hang or draw the goods packaged with strap. This will help to avoid dangerous accidents.
Strap breakage danger during sealing cycle
A wrong use: Excessive tensioning, an unsuitable strap, a sharp-edged package or packages wrongly positioned during tightening cycle, may cause a
sudden strap loosening or breaking with the following possible consequences:
- packages falling-down
- loss of balance
- sudden return of strap which may cause injuries or damage to other goods.
Always ensure that you are in a stable position when you use the tool.
Delimit the space around the working position, keeping adequate safety distance. Make sure no one is present in the
delimited area before proceeding with use of the tool.
