Safety 

WARNING!

 If you use a Dymax shutter without first reading and understanding the 

information in this user guide, injury can result from exposure to high-intensity light. To 
reduce the risk of injury, read and ensure you understand the information in this user guide 
before assembling and operating a Dymax shutter in a UV flood lamp system. 

General Safety Considerations 

All users of Dymax equipment should read and understand this user guide before assembling and using 
the equipment. 

To learn about the safe handling and use of light-curable formulations, obtain and read the MSDS for each 
product. Dymax includes an MSDS with each adhesive sold. In addition, fluid product MSDS can be 
requested through our website.  

Specific Safety Considerations 

Dymax shutters are designed to maximize operator safety and minimize exposure to UV light. To use the 
shutter safely, it must be set up and operated in accordance with the instructions in this user guide. Please 
also read and understand the following safety considerations.  

WARNINGS!

 To prevent eye injury, always wear protective goggles when working near a 

UV light-curing system. Long-sleeved shirts or a lab coat are recommended to protect the arms 
and use of UV opaque gloves will protect the hands from UV exposure.
