CAUTION! Hot surfaces! Avoid contact with the hot metal surfaces of
applicators, hoses, and certain components of the melter. If contact
can not be avoided, wear heat‐protective gloves and clothing when
working around heated equipment. Failure to avoid contact with hot
metal surfaces can result in personal injury.

CAUTION! Some Nordson melters are specifically designed to
process polyurethane reactive (PUR) hot melt. Attempting to process
PUR in equipment not specifically designed for this purpose can
damage the equipment and cause premature reaction of the hot melt. If
you are unsure of the equipment's ability to process PUR, contact your
Nordson representative for assistance.

CAUTION! Before using any cleaning or flushing compound on or in
the equipment, read and comply with the manufacturer's instructions
and the MSDS supplied with the compound. Some cleaning
compounds can react unpredictably with hot melt or cold adhesive,
resulting in damage to the equipment.
HM
CAUTION! Nordson hot melt equipment is factory tested with Nordson
Type R fluid that contains polyester adipate plasticizer. Certain hot melt
materials can react with Type R fluid and form a solid gum that can
clog the equipment. Before using the equipment, confirm that the hot
melt is compatible with Type R fluid.
