2.2 Safety, Risks

The equipment has been designed with features to reduce the possibility of injury. Despite safety
precautions, operators may receive lacerations, minor burns or crushed or broken bone injuries if coming
in contact with the heater bar or other moving components. Please carefully read the following
precautions to operate the equipment properly and avoid injury.
Although no special personal protective equipment is required to operate the equipment, eye protection,
gloves or other protection should be worn depending on the characteristics of product being packaged or
the method of loading the product.
Please carefully read the following precautions to operate the equipment properly and avoid injury:
CAUTION: Initial Setup of the machine must be performed by Specialized Personnel. Qualified
Service Engineers should uncrate, assemble (if required), test and connect power sources, test the
equipment for proper operation and otherwise setup the equipment for use.
CAUTION: Maintenance must be performed by Specialized Personnel. Qualified Service Engineers
must remove guards or covers to gain access to electrical or mechanical areas.
CAUTION: To avoid injury do not reach under the equipment or guards. Do not place hands or
fingers in the seal area, near the seal or heater bar, load shelf, or other moving components.
CAUTION: To avoid injury, do not operate the equipment if funnels, guards, or covers or other access
panels have been removed. If any of these safety measures have been removed or modified or if any
openings have been increased, the operator will have access to moving components and extreme
temperature areas that can cause crush, cut, or burn injuries to hands or fingers.
CAUTION: To avoid injury, do not reach under guards or elsewhere under the machine.
CAUTION: Do not remove or loosen fasteners on the frame. If loosened the equipment may drop
suddenly causing injury or damage to the machine.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to adjust the height without assistance and without supporting the weight
of the machine. Attempting to make a height adjustment without assistance could cause the machine to
drop suddenly, causing severe injury. APPI offers several optional accessories that can reduce the risk
of injury during height adjustments. These accessories include carts, motorized height adjustment
components and stabilizing bars.
