WARNINGS

1.Turn electrical supply off and disconnect before servicing taping heads or performing any adjustments or maintenance on the machine.

3.Before turning drive belts on, be sure no tools or other objects are on the machine bed.

4.Keep hands and loose clothing away from moving belts.

5.Keep hands and clothing away from taping heads when machine is running. A box traveling through the machine causes taping head rollers to retract when box enters and extend as box leaves taping head.

7.When feeding boxes to the machine by hand, push box in from end only – DO NOT PUSH WITH HANDS ON ANY CORNER OF THE BOX.
