Safety First
This chapter describes the safety labels appearing on the OMAX JetMachining Centers and identifies where
each are located. These labels provide information essential for safe equipment operation. This chapter also
emphasizes important safety precautions that must be observed while operating or servicing and maintaining
this equipment, and identifies the safety devices built into this equipment.
Note:
OMAX recommends the implementation of practices and procedures to shut down equipment, isolate it
from its energy source(s), and prevent the release of potentially hazardous energy while maintenance and
servicing activities are being performed.

Description
Wear Gloves
Since bacteria in the tank water can build up, even a seemingly minor break in the skin can introduce
harmful bacteria into a wound. Always wear protective gloves if you have cuts or open wounds on your
hands. When setting up material for cutting, always wear gloves that provide protection against sharp
metal edges.
Electrical Hazard
Indicates the presence of life-threatening voltages. Never access areas labeled as such without first
taking appropriate safety precautions: locking out power, verifying no voltage present on circuits prior
to maintenance activities, etc.
Lock Out Power
Never open or do maintenance on the OMAX equipment with the main AC disconnect ON or unlocked,
or while the pump unit is operating. Always follow standard lockout/tag-out procedures.
Don’t apply power to the equipment while maintenance work is in progress. Always lock the main
power to the OMAX pump off at its source.
Eye Protection
Always wear approved safety goggles whenever cutting.
Regular glasses are not sufficient eye
protection!
Ear Protection
Always wear hearing protection while in the vicinity of the OMAX. When cutting in air, noise levels can
exceed 120 dB.
Flying Debris/Loud Noise
Eye and ear protection are always required during operation.
Emergency Stop Switch
Pushing the emergency stop switch in immediately shuts down water pump and abrasivejet operation.
The emergency stop switch should be used only for real emergencies. When pressed, the OMAX loses
important machine position. The equipment cannot be restarted until the emergency stop switch is
reset.
