Safety
Precautions
Operating and servicing the Series 6 WaxJet system requires that
certain safety precautions be followed in order to prevent equipment
damage and/or personal injury.
When operating or servicing the system, observe the
following precautions:
•
Touching the Printhead or the Wax system when at operating
temperatures can cause injury. The Printhead is heated to
temperatures as high as 135º C (275º F) and will cause severe
burn if it comes in contact with bare skin. FoxJet strongly
advises that heat insulating gloves be worn when carrying out
any maintenance on the Printhead/Wax System.
•
Keep the system clean and free from dust, particularly when
performing any maintenance routines.
•
Do not stand in front of or place hands in front of Printhead
while priming. The hot Wax can spray up to 12” or more during
the priming procedure.
•
Ensure that Printhead is mounted so that products do not
come into contact with it. High heat from the Printhead may
damage product(s) and the Printhead may be damaged as well.
•
Avoid handling the wax system and wax hose while in
operation.
•
Use extreme caution when adding wax cubes to wax system.
Do not drop wax cubes in such manner that the wax is
splashed out of reservoir.
•
Do not overfill wax reservoir. Damage to internal connections
in the wax system can occur.
•
Use only FoxJet approved solvents and wipes on the Nozzle
Array plate. Damage to its special coating will occur and wax
may build up on it.
•
Avoid directly wiping the Nozzle Array plate, damage to the
special coating may occur.
During servicing, ensure that:
•
You always wear a grounded static wrist strap to avoid static
discharge when working inside the controller. The controller’s
electronics are susceptible to damage from static discharge.
•
The system has been turned off for at least 1 hour prior to
performing any service procedures on the Printhead and wax
system or in preparation for shipping.
•
Service procedures are followed precisely.
