Inks and solvents
WARNING: HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES. MANY OF THE INKS USED
WITH THIS PRINTER ARE SOLVENT-BASED AND CAN BE
HAZARDOUS. THEY ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE, AND THE VAPOUR
OR SPRAY CAN BE IRRITATING TO THE EYES AND RESPIRATORY
SYSTEM.
YOU MUST WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AND SOLVENT-RESISTANT
PROTECTIVE GLOVES WHEN YOU HANDLE INKS AND SOLVENTS,
WHEN YOU WORK ON THE PRINTER, AND WHEN YOU CLEAN IT.
IF YOU IGNORE THIS SAFETY WARNING, YOU COULD EXPERIENCE
SEVERE IRRITATION AND TEMPORARY (REVERSIBLE) DAMAGE
TO THE EYES, AND NON-ALLERGIC CONTACT DERMATITIS.
Solvents and inks are potentially harmful. Whenever inks and solvents are
used, the following essential precautions must be taken:
•
BEFORE YOU START, read the relevant ink and solvent Material
Safety Data Sheets. If you do not fully understand the information, or
are unsure, contact your supervisor for guidance.
•
If the Material Safety Data Sheets have not been supplied or are not
available, please contact your local Linx distributor. ALWAYS refer to
the Material Safety Data Sheets before working with inks and
solvents.
•
DO NOT smoke or use naked flames near the printer as it contains
flammable inks and solvents.
•
Make sure that the printing area is adequately ventilated when the
printer is in operation and when you work on the printer, or use inks or
solvents.
•
Wear safety eyeglasses when you use inks and solvents. The safety
eyeglasses must comply with the appropriate European and
International Directives. The Eye Protection Warning symbol is shown
in this guide, where appropriate, to remind you of the mandatory
requirement to WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
•
Wear solvent-resistant gloves when handling inks and solvents, or at
any time when your hands may come into contact with inks or
solvents. The Hand Protection Warning symbol is shown in this
guide,
where appropriate, to remind you of the mandatory requirement to
WEAR SAFETY GLOVES.
Barrier creams may help to protect areas of exposed skin but they do
not give as much protection as safety gloves. Barrier creams should
not be applied once exposure to ink or solvent has occurred.
