Safety Label

Description

Never operate the OMAX with any of its protective guards or covers removed or
rendered inoperative.

Never make unauthorized alterations to the equipment or components.

Never operate the OMAX with any of its protective guards or covers removed or
rendered inoperative.

Never place your hands in the vicinity of the nozzle while cutting.

Seek immediate medical attention in the event of a waterjet injury. Injuries caused
by high-pressure waterjets are serious. Do not delay!

Never step, stand or walk on the support slats. They are weakened with continued
cutting and may collapse under your weight.

Never place your hands or fingers in areas where they are in danger of becoming
pinched during equipment operation.

Never operate the equipment with the protective covers missing, exposing
yourself to dangerous mechanical and electrical hazards.

Removing the abrasive feed hose from the nozzle while still under pressure will
blow abrasive particles into the room air, getting into eyes and contaminating tools
and machines.

Don’t spray the identified area with water or compressed air. Read the service and
maintenance guide for additional information.
