Basic Safety Precautions and Practices
Compliance with the following recommended precautions and practices can prevent personal injury or
damage to property during X-1000 Series Dispensing System operation and maintenance:
Safety of Personnel
• Only trained personnel should be permitted to perform operation, maintenance, service, 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
“
Safety Warning Labels” in this section.
• Immediately push the red Emergency Off (EMO) button if personnel are in danger of
being injured.
• 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 “
Lockout of Electrical
and Pneumatic Energy
” in this section.
• 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 Belts, and other moving parts while the
dispensing system is operating.
• To prevent burn injury, wear thermal gloves when working around Heater Tooling and
Needle 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, storage, 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 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 dispensing system is equipped with a Laser Height Sensor, avoid looking directly at
the laser beam, or its reflection, or serious eye injury may result.
