Safety first

AT LABELMATE, SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. THE FOL-
LOWING INFORMATION PROVIDES GUIDELINES FOR SAFETY WHEN
Any piece of machinery can become dangerous to personnel when improperly operated or poorly maintained.
All employees operating and maintaining Labelmate equipment should be familiar with its operation and should be thor-
oughly trained and instructed on safety.
Most accidents are preventable through safety awareness.
Every effort has been made to engineer safety into the design of Labelmate equipment per standards set forth by ANSI
and others that apply as necessary. Areas of potential danger are mechanically and/or electrically protected. Safety labels
and instructional decals are visible to the operator and located near any potential hazard.
TRAINING AND INSTRUCTION
It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that all personnel who will be expected to operate or maintain the equip-
ment participate in training and instruction sessions and become trained operators. All personnel operating, inspecting,
servicing or cleaning this equipment must be properly trained in operation and machine safety. BEFORE operating this
equipment, read the operating instructions in the manual.

GENERAL SAFETY

• Ensure that all power sources are turned off when the machine is not in use. This includes electrical power.
• Read the manual for any special operational instructions for each piece of equipment. The Labelmate product manual
is included in the product packaging and can be found on the website www.labelmate.com
• Know how the equipment functions and understand the operating processes.
• Know how to shut down the equipment.
• Understand the equipment safety labels
• Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment for the job to be performed (EX: eye protection, gloves, safety
shoes, etc.). Ensure that nothing you are wearing could get caught in the machinery.
• When working on or around all equipment, avoid wearing loose clothing, jewelry, unrestrained long hair, or any loose
ties, belts, scarves or articles that may be caught in moving parts. Keep all extremities away from moving parts. Entan-
glement can cause death or severe injury.
• For new equipment, check plant voltage with the voltage specified on the machine. Electrical specifications for your
machine are printed on the machine serial number tag. A properly grounded electrical receptacle is required for safe
operation regardless of voltage requirements.
• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose.
• Keep the operating zone free of obstacles that could cause a person to trip or fall toward an operating machine. Keep
fingers, hands or any part of the body out of the machine and away from moving parts when the machine is operating.
• Any machine with moving parts and/or electrical components can be potentially dangerous no matter how many safe-
ty features it contains. Stay alert and think clearly while operating or servicing the equipment. Be aware of operations
and personnel in your surroundings. Be attentive to indicator lights and/or operator interface screens displayed on the
machine and know how to respond.
• Do not operate machinery if you are fatigued, emotionally distressed or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Know where the FIRST AID SAFETY STATION is located.
• Rotating and moving parts are dangerous. Keep clear of the operating area. Never put any foreign object into the oper-
ating area.
• Use proper lifting and transporting devices for heavy equipment. Some types of equipment can be extremely heavy. An
appropriate lifting device should be used.
