SAFETY GUIDELINES
Electrical components
The system works with single-phase of a certain power. Never handle the
equipment with the power connected, as this may result in powerful electrical
shocks.
The installation must be correctly grounded.
The installation’s power cable conductors must match the required electric
current and voltage.
Periodically inspect the cables to check for crushing, wear and tear, as well as
to prevent tripping and falls as a result of their placement.
Although the system meets EMC requirements, it is inadvisable to use
devices that transmit high levels of radiation, i.e., mobile phones or soldering
equipment in their vecinity.
Thermal components
The controller maybe works in hotmelt sistems with temperatures that can
exceed 200°C (392°F). The equipment must be operated using adequate
protection (clothing, footwear, gloves and protective glasses) that completely
cover exposed parts of the body.
Keep in mind that, due to the high temperatures reached, the heat does not
dissipate immediately, even when the power (in this case, electric) source is
disconnected. Therefore, use caution, even with the adhesive itself. It may
remain very hot, even in a solid state.
In case of burns:
1. If the burn is the result of contact with melted adhesive, do not try to
remove the adhesive material from the skin. Do not try to remove it
once it has solidified either.
2. Cool the affected area down immediately with lots of cold and clean
water.
3. Seek medical attention as soon as possible either from the company’s
medical service or the nearest hospital. Provide the medical staff with
the Safety Information Sheet of the adhesive.
