WARNING
• Make sure that the cables are connected to the correct motors. Cables
and motors are clearly labeled. Reversing the cables can result in
unexpected and uncontrolled motion causing a safety risk or damage
to the machine. A crushing hazard exists between the nozzle and mold
melt inlet during carriage forward motion.
• A possible shearing hazard exists between the edge of the injection
guard and the injection housing during injection.
•
The open feed port could present a hazard to a finger or a hand
inserted during operation of the machine.
• The electric servo motors could overheat presenting a hot surface which
could cause burns to someone touching it.
• The barrel, barrel head, nozzle, heater bands and mold components are
hot surfaces which could result in burns.
•
Keep flammable liquids or dust away from the hot surfaces as they
could ignite.
•
Follow good housekeeping procedures and keep floors clean to prevent
slips, trips and falls due to spilled material on the work floor.
• Apply engineering controls or hearing conservation programs as
necessary to control noise.
• When doing any work on the machine that requires moving and lifting
the machine, ensure that lifting equipment (eyebolts, fork lift truck,
cranes, etc.) will have sufficient capacity to handle mold, auxiliary
injection unit or Hot Runner weight.
• Connect all lifting devices and support the machine using a crane of
adequate capacity before commencing work. Failure to support the
machine can result in severe injury or death.
• Mold cable from the controller to the mold must be removed before
servicing the mold.
