GENERAL CLEANING GUIDELINES
This machine requires regular, periodic cleaning to
ensure reliable service. The Operator, with a minimum
of training, can perform daily cleaning.
Regular cleaning is important for the proper operation
and performance of the machine. During operation,
there will be a normal build up of dirt, dust, and film
residue on various parts of the machine.
Keep the areas directly adjacent to machine clean of
debris as these can create safety hazards for the Op-
erator and/or damage the machine.
No cleaning should be performed unless these safety
precautions are thoroughly understood and are ad-

•
ALWAYS SHUT-OFF & UNPLUG machine power
cord AND dump air supply before cleaning or re-

Particles of steel wool may break off and cause
rusting or contaminate lubricated surfaces.
•
DO NOT allow wrenches, fittings or other metallic
objects to lie on machine surfaces during opera-

SEVERE DUTY APPLICATIONS
Some applications may require a more comprehen-
sive maintenance procedure performed by a qualified
Service Technician.
The applications, which may require the extra-ordinary
maintenance, include, but are not limited to, extremely
dusty or corrosive environments. Sharp Packaging
recommends the use of a vacuum, compressed air or
both to remove all foreign substances that may have
accumulated on or inside the packaging machine.
It may be necessary to remove some or all of the
guards and covers protecting the machine to access
the areas in need of cleaning. Some disassembly of
the sealer and film feed assemblies may also be nec-
essary.
It is extremely important to follow all of the safety
guidelines and warning detailed inside the Sharp
Operator Manual before removing any guards or
servicing the machine.
