DynaMAX 550P/560P/575P Waterjet Pump Operator Manual 811390 21
Emergency medical information and treatment
High-pressure equipment puts the operator and other personnel at risk of contact with
high-pressure water. Possible injuries include eye damage, lacerations, infections, and amputations.
Waterjet operators should have a waterproof emergency medical tag or card that describes the
recommended treatment for high-pressure water injuries. Show the tag or card to emergency
responders and medical professionals.
This wallet-size card can be copied, laminated, and folded.
WARNING
WARNING
Pressurized fluid can cause injuries.
A waterjet is a cutting tool. Keep away from high-pressure streams and leaks. A
high-pressure injection injury is a surgical emergency. Get medical treatment immediately for
all high-pressure waterjet injuries.
Delayed treatment can cause injuries or death. Abrasive waterjets eject a mixture of water
and abrasive materials that can be injected into body tissues, leading to a dangerous
infection.
WARNING
Do not put ice or heat on a waterjet injury.
If possible, use a support to keep injured body parts above heart level.
