2–3 Minute Talk Script
Safe use of industrial label makers is important for manufacturing, facilities, and office environments. Clear labels ensure equipment, chemicals, and storage areas are properly identified.
Workers should avoid touching the print head after heavy use, as it may be hot.
Different label materials—vinyl, polyester, and paper—require correct heat settings for clean printing.
Using built-in cutters prevents hand injuries from trimming labels manually.
Safety Reminders
- Allow print heads to cool.
- Use correct material settings.
- Trim labels with built-in cutters.
- Verify text before printing.
Ask the Crew
- Do we have the correct label material loaded?
