Explosion Hazard
Do not plug in or turn on power to the system if hazardous substances are
detected in the environment. Should these substances be detected after the
system has been turned on, do not attempt to unplug it, or turn off power.
Evacuate and ventilate the area before turning off power to the system.
Danger
Extreme care must be taken when handling inks and solvent, to prevent the risk of
explosion. Do not operate the system in the presence of explosive liquids, vapors, or
gases. Keep all sources of ignition away from the printer and work area.
Provision for an Eye Wash Station
When installing the HP Scitex FB7600, it is important to provide an eye wash
station and shower. If the system operator accidently splashes ink or solvent
into the eyes, he/she must be able to flush his/her eyes immediately with
copious amounts of clean water or sterile eye-wash solution, and maintain
flushing for a minimum of 15 consecutive minutes. In case ink or solvent
splashes onto the skin, the operator should flush it using a shower. The
provision of these facilities may help to reduce the risk of irritation and
possible damage to the eyes and/or skin.
Eye wash facilities may be provided by plumbing a system into a specific area
(reasonably close to the print production area), or installing a commercially
available eye wash station. These facilities should be located at a distance of no
more than 15 m (50 ft) from the print production area, and unobstructed access
should be maintained at all times.
The services of a plumber will be required for installation of the types of eye
wash fountains shown below (see
Figure 1-4
). Alternatively, commercially
available eye wash products (eye wash bottles containing sterile solution or
sealed flushing systems) may be used.
