the protection of the system. Dymax assumes no liability for any changes that may
impair the protection of the BlueWave QX4 system.
General Safety Considerations
All users of Dymax LED light sources should read and understand this user guide before
assembling and using the system.
To learn about the safe handling and use of light-curable formulations, obtain and read
the MSDS for each product. Dymax includes an MSDS with each adhesive sold. In
addition, fluid product MSDS are available on our website.
Specific Safety Considerations
The
BlueWave QX4
is designed to maximize operator safety and minimize exposure to
light-curing energy. To use the unit
safely, it must be set up and operated in accordance
with the instructions in this user guide. Please also read and understand the safety
considerations unique to LED-curing systems as described below.
WARNINGS!
Looking directly at the high-intensity light emitted by the
heads of the BlueWave QX4 can result in eye injury. To prevent eye injury,
never look directly at the end of the high-intensity head and always wear
protective goggles. To avoid accidental exposure, always point the LED
head away and at the curing substrate.
Removing the cover from the BlueWave QX4 controller may result in electrical shock. To
prevent the possibility of an electrical shock, never remove the
controller’s
cover
The controller is cooled by natural convection. If you block the air flow from the
controller, equipment damage and malfunction can result. To prevent damage and
malfunction, ensure adequate space around controller vents to allow the free flow of air.
Typically, 1.5 in of space around all sides of the controller is sufficient.
