Safety Requirements
The following safety requirements are
important
. Read and adhere to the safety
requirements before installing or operating a T50/T100 print head.
Failure to read the safety requirements can lead to death, personal injury, or damage to the
equipment.
Handling the Equipment
Warning
• To avoid injury to personnel or damage to equipment, always use proper lifting and/or
carrying techniques with the equipment.
• The print head must be properly mounted. There is a risk of injury to personnel or damage
to the equipment if it is mounted incorrectly.
• Safety glasses and solvent resistant gloves must be used when contact with ink or solvent
liquids is possible. If cleaning solution comes in contact with skin, wash immediately. If
contact is made with eyes or mouth, wash them for at least 15 minutes and seek medical
advice.
• Make sure that all covers are correctly fitted to the unit before operation. Contact a
supervisor for guidance if you are not sure. The covers provide a safety barrier to protect
the user.
• All cables connected to a print head must be located out of travel zones. They must be free
from potential damage.
• During operation the print head surfaces may be hot to the touch. Take appropriate
precautions when priming a system or removing a Nozzle-Protector-Plate.
• Do not expose a print head to smoke or naked flames. Ink and cleaner are flammable
substances.
• If equipment is used in a manner not specified by Matthews Marking, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
• Never ship or transport a print head without following the procedures outlined in the
maintenance section. Failure to correctly prepare a print head can cause damage or injury.
• Do not open or interfere with the print head’s internal components. Only Matthews certified
technicians are permitted to service the print head.
General Considerations
Caution
• Use only Matthew’s inks and cleaners. Use of other inks and cleaners could cause damage
to the print head or pose safety hazards and void the warranty.
