Disconnect electrical power form source before proceeding with any installa- tion, adjustment or repair of the SLS 2 Stack Labeler. Your Eastman SLS 2 Stack Labeler is designed to travel at high speed in both directions. Equipment should be set up with a minimum 3 foot (1 meter) clear path at front and rear of machine.
• Safety labels must be kept clean and legible at ing routine maintenance, including cleaning and lu- all times. Call the Eastman Machine factory to brication. order replacement labels.
