Hazards Associated with the Feeder
The feeder has been constructed in line with state-of-the-art technology and is safe to operate.
However, hazards cannot be excluded if it is operated by persons unfamiliar with its use. The same

- Injury by rotating rollers and belts
- Damage to the feeder
General Notes on Safety
•
The feeder can be ordered as a 110-120 VAC model or a 220-240 VAC model. It is not field
selectable. It is therefore vital to check the serial tag (type plate) to be sure you received the
correct model for your supply voltage and it is also vital to check the supply voltage before
connecting the feeder to the outlet.
•
The power plug may only be connected to a grounded socket! Make sure that the grounding
has not been rendered ineffective by the use of an extension cable without a ground conductor.
Any break in the ground conductor inside or outside the feeder is dangerous and is not
permissible.
•
The feeder is fused via only one electrical terminal! Even if a fuse blows, electrical parts in the
feeder may continue to be live.
•
Run the power lines so that no-one can trip over them. Make sure that no objects are placed
onto the power cables.
•
Unplug the feeder from the power supply if it is not being used for a longer period of time. This
avoids any damage in the event of voltage surges. The use of a surge protector is advised.
•
Never touch any moving parts of the feeder! Such action can lead to injury from being caught
up in the rotating rollers or belts. Also be sure to keep long hair and clothing away from the
feeder while it is running.
•
Protect the feeder from moisture. If moisture does penetrate it, this may lead to the danger of
electric shock and damage to the feeder.
•
Always unplug the feeder before cleaning it.
•
Do not use any cleaning agents other than what is outlined in this manual.
