INSTRUCTIONS
MODEL 123
READ CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR
MACHINE
A Safety Note:
Your good manufacturing practices should insure that a written safety program is in place, which
includes the assessment of all processes that take place in house, for potential risks.
The employer response to this assessment is to establish specific instructions for the safe use of all
machines, safe use of certain chemicals, etc. in your work place.
For instance, any user of electrical machinery, SLICE® included, must be instructed that never,
under any circumstances, should a machine be left on while attempting to clear a jam, if it should
occur.
This written rule, along with other directives, should be translated into either a training document
that is signed or work instruction that is also signed and dated by all operators and that ideally
remains with the equipment as a reminder of safe operation.

- Page 20 11.1 Calibration Continued The issue of calibration is a complex one. Different insulating materials may have different slip rates. As such, a machine calibrated to run one type of wire and insulation may be calibrated for a different type of wire and insulation. Heat shrink tubing, and various types of flexible tubing are susceptible to stretching.
- Page 21 11.7 Exit (displays as no. 6) Exit the programming mode without changes by pressing this. 11.8 Notes Of Interest The machine has also been calibrated for length using standard flat ribbon cable.
