2.3 Basic Safety Precautions and Practices
Compliance with the following recommended precautions and practices will prevent personal injury or
damage to property during X-1000 Series Dispensing System operation and maintenance:
2.3.1 Safety of Personnel
• Only trained personnel should be permitted to perform operation, maintenance, and
troubleshooting procedures.
• There should always be a second person present when performing maintenance on a system
under power.
• Locate, identify, and obey all safety warning labels on your system before initial use. Refer to
2.4 Safety Warning Labels for details.
• Immediately push the red emergency machine off (EMO) button if personnel are in danger of
being injured. Refer to 2.5 Emergency Shutdown for details.
• Lock out and tag out power and disconnect facility air to the dispensing system before
performing service or maintenance on the dispensing system. Refer to 2.10 Lockout of
Electrical and Pneumatic Energy for details.
• Lock out and tag out power to upstream and downstream machines before performing service
or maintenance on the dispensing system.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry while operating the system. Tie back long hair to
prevent it from being caught in moving parts.
• Do not touch the dispensing head, conveyor, and other moving parts while the dispensing
system is operating.
• To prevent burn injury, wear thermal gloves when working around heater tooling and fluid
heaters.
• Make sure that power cables and air supply hoses do not cross walkways or aisles.
• Follow material safety data sheet (MSDS) recommendations for the proper handling, cleanup,
and disposal of hazardous materials.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as recommended by facility
safety practices and the material manufacturer’s MSDS.
• Know the MSDS recommendations for treatment of injury resulting from exposure to
hazardous materials.
• Make sure that the main power cable and main air supply hose are securely connected before
operating the dispensing system.
• Before attempting to lift a load, take into consideration facility lifting and transport
precautions.
• Before performing maintenance or service on the dispensing head, position it at the front of
the dispensing chamber. This will provide easy access to components and limit exposure to
hazardous areas.
• If your system is equipped with a laser height sensor, use extreme care to avoid looking
directly at the laser beam or its reflection off of mirror-like surfaces.
