MACHINE GUARDS

The Sharp MAX-PRO is equipped with guards cover-
ing the heated sealing area and the underside of the
Head Assembly. DO NOT operate the MAX-PRO with
these or any other guards removed.
®
The Top Lexan Guard sits on top of the Jaw Guard.
The shape allows for loading of product into the bags.
Sharp Packaging recommends the MAX-PRO be
equipped with the optional Dual Palm Buttons to start
the cycle to ensure the operator's hands are clear of
the Sealing and Pressure Bars when the machine is
cycled.
DO NOT operate the unit with this feature removed.
An Emergency-Stop Button is located on the Control
Panel, which immediately stops the machine when
pressed by de-energizing power to the Master Control
Relay, PLC outputs, motor, motor drive and air valves.
OBSTRUCTION SENSING JAW
The Sealing Assembly is equipped with Obstruction
Sensing Sensors, which can detect an obstruction in
the Sealing Area. If the Jaw Sensors detect and object
preventing the Jaw from closing, the Sensors de-
energize and place the machine into a fault condition.
A message appears in the display informing the Oper-
ator of the Jaw Fault, allowing the Operator to clear
the Sealing Area and reset the bagging cycle.
