1.3 Intended use
The machine is a piece of technical equipment to be used exclusively
as a working appliance. The machine may only be operated by per-
sons older than 14 years of age.
Use the machine only to pack products in pre-made film pouches.
The film pouches are closed with a seal seam.
For specifications, see Technical specifications.
Any other use is considered improper and can endanger persons, the
product and the machine.
1.3.1 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
The machine has been designed for use in residential, business and
industrial areas (without a separate power substation, it can be con-
nected directly to the public mains). Operation can be impaired when
used in an industrial environment.
1.3.2 Non-ionising radiation
The machine produces unintended non-ionising radiation. This is only
emitted by electrical operating equipment as a function of its inherent
technical nature. e.g. from electric motors, high voltage wires, mag-
netic coils. There are moreover no strong permanent magnets built
into the machine. Any effect on active implants can therefore be ex-
cluded with a high degree of probability as long as a safety distance
of 30 cm is maintained between the implant and the field source. Ac-
tive implants can be: heart pacemakers, defibrillators etc.
1.4 Reasonably foreseeable incorrect use
The following work methods are not in accordance with regulations
and therefore are prohibited:
• Operation in an atmosphere capable of explosion.
• Packing of highly flammable, combustible or explosion-prone
products.
• Packing of dust-forming or powder-forming material.
• Gas flushing of film pouches with explosive gas mixtures (e.g.
oxygen proportion over 21 %).
