BOS RCM safety
The rapid change module (RCM) is usually a hot
module. Care must be taken to honor the
warning labels that exist on the module.
Although it is recommended to completely cool
the powder and parts in the RCM, they may not
be completely cooled before breakout. The
powder can be very hot prior to cooling. Thermal
protective gloves should be used if examining
the RCM module or prematurely removing the
parts or powder.
The RCM has moving parts. They are reasonably
protected from human contact. Care must be
taken not to place the hands or feet inside the
lower perimeter of the RCM frame. Never place a
hand or foot inside the lower frame perimeter
during RCM piston lifting operation—injury may
result.
