Operator Requirements
The guidelines provided in the following pages are intended to educate the user about how to
operate the TM-50 safely. They contain important information on avoiding potential hazards to
the operator and to the equipment. Only personnel who have thoroughly reviewed and under-
stand the TM-500 User’s Guide and are aware of the possible hazards should operate or perform
maintenance on the TM-500.
Operators and maintenance personnel are advised not to wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry
when operating or maintaining the TM-500. Protective eye wear should be worn when loading,
operating or maintaining the TM-500.
Caution: Users should always wear protective eye wear when loading, oper-
ating or maintaining the TM-500.
Safe operation of the TM-500 does not require gloves of any type, however some component
manufacturers may recommend gloves be worn when placing parts in tape. Consult the compo-
nent manufacturer for specific placement instructions. Ear protection is not necessary during nor-
mal operation.
When running the TM-500, the operator should stand or sit in front of the computer to assure
easy access to all controls and the Power/Emergency Stop Button. This position allows the oper-
ator to view all parts of the TM-500 while it is in operation. When loading or unloading the TM-500
or changing input modules, the operator may also need to access the front and side enclosure
doors.
