Page 7: Warning
Warning and caution Warning WARNING To prevent accidents resulting in injury or death and physical damage, the following items must be observed strictly when operating the machine. [Before Starting the Machine] This machine is designed for industrial use. Use this machine for semi- or finished textile products and similar materials.
Page 8 Warning and caution WARNING [During the Machine Operation] Do not use a device such as a cellular phone that generates microwave near the control circuits of the power supply box, the operation panel box, etc. Microwave may cause malfunctioning of the machine. Do not remove the covers for the shaft and the pulleys when the machine is running.
Page 9: Caution
Warning and caution Caution CAUTION For long life machine operation, operate the machine with about 70% of the maximum speed as “operation for total fitting” for about two weeks after installation. By performing operation for total fitting, life of the machine will become longer, which will be useful to avoid unexpected troubles.
Page 10 Warning and caution CAUTION [Installation environment] Do not transport, store, and operate the machine in the area of which altitude exceeds 1,000m. Prevent the operation noise in the environment. This machine is designed to reduce noise during operation. To improve the sound insulation performance in a factory still more, use the interior finish materials which show high sound insulating performance for the walls, ceiling, and floor of the factory.
Page 11: Warning Labels
High voltage mark There could be danger of electric shock, burning, or death. Persons except for service personnel designated by Tajima should not open covers. When opening covers, wait for four minutes after turning off the power switch. Catching mark There could be danger of catching or clipping.
