Fourth. Operation specification after the end of production

  1. Separate the printed qualified products from the products to be inspected and mark them clearly.
  2. The captain arranges personnel to clean and maintain the machine in accordance with the “Machine Maintenance System”.
  3. Cut off the power and air flow.
