Noise: Noise Levels have been measured at less than 65 dB for the machine whilst
running. However, dependent on speed of operation and type of container being used
this noise level may increase. It is recommended that noise testing be carried out in
actual production conditions.
Heat: If a hot foil coder is used on your machine, care should be taken not to touch the
coder type block, when in operation. A warning note is fixed to the coder. Care must be
taken not to touch other items likely to be at hazardous temperatures above ambient, e.g.
motors & transformers.
Pressure: Compressed air is used on the machine for operation of coder (If fitted). No
risk is present provided the user's supply line is securely installed.
Dust: As paper labels and webbing release a quantity of dust, it is advisable to regularly
vacuum contaminated areas of the machine.
Other Hazards: Subject to machine specification other ancillary devices may be
fitted to the machine that incorporate Class 1 Laser Equipment. These could include
Laser bar code scanners or Laser coders. Refer to Original Equipment Manual for
details and precautions with these hazards.
2.2 TRAINING
Safe and efficient use of your labelling machine will be achieved by ensuring
operation and maintenance personnel are fully trained. Newman Service Engineers or
Technicians can provide this training service at the time of commissioning or
afterwards by arrangement.
