1.3 GENERAL SAFETY PROCEDURES
The following general areas of safety must be observed to
avoid personal injury and/or damage to machinery and
parts. Further requirements for safe, effective machinery
operation are discussed in subsequent sections of this
manual.
Operator Training
Ultrasonic cleaning equipment and chemicals
should be used only by personnel specifically
trained for their use. This training should include
electrical safety, machine operation, familiarity with
the cleaning chemicals, and emergency
procedures.
Proper Use of Chemicals
For every cleaning liquid used, keep readily
available all manufacturer’s data with regard to
toxicity, stability against corrosive breakdown, and
treatment of adverse reactions. Before using a
chemical, read all instructions provided by the
manufacturer and refer to them whenever there is
any question at all about the use of the cleaning
liquid.
Some cleaning liquids can be harmful or toxic to
human life when used improperly. Always avoid
skin contact with cleaning liquids. Do not ingest
cleaning liquids.
NEVER place your hands, arms, or any body part
in the cleaning or rinse liquids when ultrasonic
cleaning is in operation. Always use racks,
baskets, or tongs for inserting and removing
objects from the cleaning tank.
Some chemical processes will require the use of
protective gloves and protective eyewear.
