Failure to comply with any of the safety recommendations could cause serious
injury to the user or damage to the dispensing system.
2.4.1 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. See
2.7 Safety Warning Labels for details.
• Immediately push the red emergency machine 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. See
2.9 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, or other moving parts while the dispensing
system is operating.
• To prevent burn injury, wear thermal gloves when working around heater tooling and fluid
heaters.
• If your system is equipped with Laser Fan Width Control, use extreme care to avoid looking
directly at the laser beam or its reflection off of mirror-like surfaces. See
2.5 Laser Radiation.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as recommended by facility
safety practices and the material manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
• Make sure that the main power cable and main air supply hose are securely connected before
operating the dispensing system.
• If in a confined room, ensure adequate and uninterrupted air ventilation, heating, and cooling
to meet environmental stress limits of personnel and the dispensing system.
