Safety Instructions
The following Safety Instructions must be observed!
Caution:
Before any repair and adjustment work, unplug from the mains!
Installation and maintenance work may only be performed by trained personnel.
Only those individuals shall be considered suitable who are qualified by specialised training and
experience in dealing with these or similar devices, who know the relevant safety and accident
prevention regulations, and who therefore can recognise and avoid hazards.
Work on the adhesive application system may generally only be conducted when the voltage has
been turned off and the compressed air has been blocked (depressurise the system).
The system must not be operated without the appropriate covers and safety panels. Be careful of
non-covered moving and rotating parts, such as motor and pump shafts, hub and swivelling
mechanisms!
Caution: Do not use the system for any purpose other than that for which it is intended!
On many non-covered parts of the applicator device, the hot glue hoses and application guns consist
of high temperatures during operation. Hot and pressurised adhesive may cause severe skin burns.
Therefore, always wear protective clothing, gloves and safety goggles when working on the system,
such as when filling the melting tank or connecting and installing the hoses and valves. Some
adhesives produce toxic fumes that have to be extracted. The hot melt adhesive application
equipment may not be operated under the following circumstances:
-
In the vicinity of volatile substances or explosive materials and gasses
-
Without adequate protection
-
At temperatures of less than 5 °C or more than 45 °C

When working with molten hot glue, always be extremely careful! These materials solidify very
quickly, even at high temperatures, so they can still be very hot even in their solid state and can
result in burns when in brought into contact with the skin. The safety precautions of the adhesive
manufacturer are to be observed. These can be found on the data sheet of the adhesive. Comply
with the processing temperatures recommended by the glue manufacturer!
When working with hot melt, wear gloves, safety glasses and long sleeves to prevent burns. In the
case of a burn, do not attempt to remove the glue from a person's skin; instead, hold the wounded
site under cold water until the glue has cooled and then contact a physician.

For the safety regulations in dealing with the production or packaging machine, please refer to the
documentation supplied with these devices.
For installation and maintenance work, the Safety Instructions for the parent machine in which the
adhesive application system is installed must be observed.
