Setup
•
Always use proper lifting techniques when lifting heavy components to avoid injury or strain.
•
Always make sure the machine is secured using the Wall Mount Bracket.
•
Ensure WAZER is plugged into a properly grounded pronged receptacle. Refer to a licensed
and qualified electrician and your local national, state, and local codes if you have any
questions. Never modify the plug.
•
Ensure the Pump Box is plugged into a properly grounded three pronged receptacle that
exceeds breaker requirements. Refer to a licensed and qualified electrician and your local
national, state, and local codes if you have any questions.
•
Only operate WAZER and Pump Box on designated power supply. This may be 110V/60Hz
or 220v/50Hz depending on which model you purchased. Never attempt to operate it using
converters or adapters. Always keep your work area clean.
Operation
•
Never operate WAZER with components out of place or missing. This includes and is not
limited to the Cut Bed, Nozzle Cover, Nozzle, and Door.
•
Never override any safety sensors or systems in WAZER.
•
Never touch components inside the Enclosure if WAZER is operating. This includes, but is
not limited to, the Cut Bed, Nozzle, and the Material you are cutting.
•
Stay clear of all high-pressure components during operation.
•
Never reach under, over, or into WAZER or Pump Box during operation.
•
Never place hands under the Cutting Head of the machine. This includes while the machine
is in the turned off state.
•
Risk of injury due to accidental starting, keep children away from WAZER while it is running
•
Never leave the machine unattended in the paused or any state of being on. If you must
leave the vicinity of the machine be sure to perform the appropriate shutdown procedure
for your machine prior to leaving the area.
Shutdown
•
Always disconnect WAZER from power and shut off the water supply when leaving WAZER
unattended.
Maintenance
•
Follow all maintenance procedures and schedules presented in the User Manual. Failure to
maintain WAZER could result in damage to WAZER or the Pump Box, a degradation of cut
quality, or create safety risks to you and your environment.
•
Do not engage in any maintenance while WAZER is connected to power and water supply.
Always disconnect WAZER from all power sources and water sources before opening the
Pump Box or interacting with any electronics.
•
Do not perform unauthorized maintenance on WAZER or its components. All maintenance
must follow instructions in authorized sources of information including this User Manual.

Leaks
•
Before and after a Cut, always inspect the surrounding area of WAZER and Pump Box for
leaks.
•
In the event that a leak is observed, turn off the power going to WAZER, wipe it down, and
LET IT DRY OVERNIGHT
before seeing if anything was damaged and is still working. Water
doesn’t damage electronics, it’s the combination of water with running electricity that does;
so letting them air dry ensures that the next turn on won’t destroy something.
•
Never attempt to identify the location of a leak when the machine is on.
Disassembly and Decommission:
•
Never discard WAZER in the trash. WAZER is a tool that contains electric and electronic
components, proper disposal is required.
•
Never skip steps when decommissioning WAZER. Follow every step to safely decommission
WAZER.
•
Never prepare WAZER for shipping with unapproved packaging or shipping method. Always
connect with WAZER customer service before shipping WAZER.
•
Always abide to national/federal/local law and regulation for process of decommissioning
WAZER.
Injuries
Injuries caused by high-pressure waterjets can be serious. In the event of any waterjet injury the
Waterjet Technology Association recommends:
•
Seek medical attention immediately. Do NOT delay!
•
Inform the doctor of the injury.
•
Tell the physician what type of waterjet project was being performed at the time of the
accident and the source of the water and the materials involved.
Inform the physician of the following information:
•
This patient may be suffering from a waterjet injury.
•
Evaluation and management should parallel that of a gunshot injury.
•
The external manifestations of the injury cannot be used to predict the extent of internal
damage.
•
Initial management should include stabilization and a thorough neurovascular examination.
•
X-Rays can be used to assess subcutaneous air and foreign bodies distant from the site of
injury.
•
Injuries to the extremities can involve extensive nerve, muscle, vessel damage, as well as
cause a distal compartment syndrome.
•
Injuries to the torso can involve internal organ damage. Surgical consultation should be
obtained.
•
Aggressive irrigation and debridement is recommended.
•
Surgical decompression and exploration may also be necessary.
•
Angiographic studies are recommended pre-operatively if arterial injury is suspected.
•
Bandages with a hygroscopic solution (MgS04) and hyperbaric oxygen treatment have been
used as adjunctive therapy to decrease pain, edema, and subcutaneous emphysema.
•
Unusual infections with uncommon organisms in immunodeficient patients have been seen;
the source of the water is important in deciding on initial, empiric antibiotic treatment, and
broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics should be administered.
•
Cultures should be obtained.
For your convenience, we have also included a set of wallet sized laminated medical alert
cards at the front of this printed user manual. This card contains the above injury treatment
information per the Waterjet Technology Association’s recommendation. We recommend users
of the machine to carry this card.. Additional copies of this card can be attained by contacting
WAZER Customer Support.
Bacteria can build up in the standing water of the Tank. Any injuries or cuts,
even minor ones, should be treated with caution. If you have open wounds avoid contact with the
water or wear gloves that do not expose you to the Tank water.
