Safeyt Instructions
1. The machine is designed for through hole
plating of PCBs. Only use the apparatus for
its described application. For any other ap-
plication please contact us.
2. Check chemical resistance of the tanks
against your chemicals. Chemicals supplied
by Bungard are suitable to be used with this
machine. Please contact us if you use differ-
ent kind of chemicals. Mix chemicals outside
of machine in a suitable container.
3. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
remove the casing or open the back. There
are no user serviceable parts inside. Leave
servicing to the experts! Keep this unit out of
the rain and away from moisture.
Pay attention to the warning signs on the
machine.
4. Read all the safety instructions and all the
operating instructions thoroughly before us-
ing the unit for the first time. Keep these
safety instructions and operating instructions
somewhere safe in case you need to refer to
them again in the future.
5. In your own interest pay heed to all the
safety warnings on the unit and in the oper-
ating instructions. Follow the instructions on
operation and use of the unit in every re-
spect.
6. Wherever you put the unit, always ensure
there is sufficient ventilation. For the etching
and plating units in some circumstances an
exhaust system is necessary. This mainly
depends on the chemicals used.
7. Do not put the unit anywhere near
sources of heat, such as radiators, hot air
shafts, oven etc..
8. Connect the unit only to the power source
indicated in the operating instructions or on
the unit. We assume that your power source
is in accordance to the regulations of your
country.
9. Follow the manufacturer's recommenda-
tions for cleaning the unit.
10. If you are not going to use the unit for
some time, remove the plug from the socket.
11. Take great care to ensure that no liquids
or other foreign bodies can find their way in-
side the unit through the openings in the
casing.
12. The unit should only be repaired by qual-
ified personnel. Never try to do more in the
way of maintenance to your unit than the op-
erating instructions allow. Beyond that, al-
ways consult an expert for repair work.
13. Set up apparatus only in a suitable room.
Apparatus filled with chemicals must be
placed on chemical resistant floors. In the
case of overflow or leakage see safety data
sheets. No chemicals are allowed untreated
in the sewerage. In some case absorber
tanks are necessary.
Because of possible exothermic reactions
please mix chemicals in a suitable container
outside of the machine. We recommend to
use sulphuric acid 36% instead of the 98%
concentrate.
The use of the apparatus is not allowed in
the residential area; keep away from chil-
dren.
14. Only run the unit with tanks completely
filled. Control the liquid level daily.
15. Close the drain valves before refilling the
machine.
16. Personal safety regulations:
The following safety precautions should al-
ways be observed when handling chemicals
(etching agent, acids, lyes, etc.):
a) Wear goggles and protective gloves for all
work.
b) If necessary only work under an extractor
hood or at least in well ventilated rooms.
c) Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous
membranes at all costs.
d) Take off clothing soaked in caustic sub-
stances immediately.
e) Rinse splashes on skin immediately with
copious amounts of water.
f) In the event of accidents or feeling unwell,
always consult a doctor.
