Cautions emphasize operating or service procedures, or conditions that can result in
equipment damage or impairment of system operation.
Notes provide additional information that can expedite or improve operating or
service procedures.
Training
All personnel operating, servicing or working near the waterjet cutting equipment shall adhere to
all safety precautions described in this manual, as well as the applicable plant safety precautions.
Only KMT factory trained, qualified personnel shall service, maintain and operate the equipment.
Personal Protective Equipment
All maintenance and operating personnel shall practice and promote safety at all times to avoid
potential injury and unnecessary downtime. Maintenance procedures should be performed in a
well-ventilated area.
Any personnel in proximity of the equipment are to wear proper personal
protective equipment to include at a minimum, safety glasses with side shields
and hearing protection.
In addition to safety glasses with side shields, it is recommended that maintenance
personnel wear chemical resistant gloves.
Additional Precautions
Once the pump is integrated into a system (i.e. with an x-y table), a risk assessment must be
completed for the combined system to determine any additional hazards that require additional
guarding or protective devices.
A risk assessment in accordance with EN12100 is recommended. Isolation of personnel from the
cutting area, such as light curtains and/or warning beacons should be considered.
