Personal Safety
To prevent injury follow these instructions.
S
Do not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified.
S
Do not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, or covers are
intact and automatic interlocks are operating properly. Do not bypass or
disarm any safety devices.
S
Keep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing any
moving equipment, shut off the power supply and wait until the
equipment comes to a complete stop. Lock out power and secure the
equipment to prevent unexpected movement.
S
Relieve (bleed off) hydraulic and pneumatic pressure before adjusting or
servicing pressurized systems or components. Disconnect, lock out, and
tag switches before servicing electrical equipment.
S
Obtain and read Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all materials
used. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling and use
of materials, and use recommended personal protection devices.
S
To prevent injury, be aware of less-obvious dangers in the workplace
that often cannot be completely eliminated, such as hot surfaces, sharp
edges, energized electrical circuits, and moving parts that cannot be
enclosed or otherwise guarded for practical reasons.
Fire Safety
To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these instructions.
S
Do not smoke, weld, grind, or use open flames where flammable
materials are being used or stored.
S
Provide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerous concentrations of
volatile materials or vapors. Refer to local codes or your material MSDS
for guidance.
S
Do not disconnect live electrical circuits while working with flammable
materials. Shut off power at a disconnect switch first to prevent sparking.
S
Know where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves, and fire
extinguishers are located. If a fire starts in a spray booth, immediately
shut off the spray system and exhaust fans.
S
Clean, maintain, test, and repair equipment according to the instructions
in your equipment documentation.
S
Use only replacement parts that are designed for use with original
equipment. Contact your Nordson representative for parts information
and advice.
