6 Safety
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as recommended by facility
safety practices and the material manufacturer’s 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
meet environmental stress limits of personnel and the dispensing system.
• Where volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions can exceed safe limits, facility ventilation
and filtration systems must be operational.
• Provide adequate space around the dispensing system to allow for movement of
maintenance and service personnel. Allow space for access doors and service panels to
open fully.
• Make sure all facility power sources are safely grounded.
• Routinely inspect all air hoses and electrical cables for damage.
• Make sure that power cords and air supply hoses do not cross a walkway or aisle.
• Before attempting to lift a load, take into consideration facility lifting and transport
precautions.
• Maintain a clean and orderly work area.
Material Safety
• Follow MSDS recommendations for the proper handling, cleanup, and disposal of hazardous
materials.
• Know the MSDS recommendations for treatment of injury resulting from exposure to
hazardous materials.
• When working with multiple fluids, refer to the MSDS to ensure the materials are compatible.
Preventing Dispensing System and Workpiece Damage
• Immediately push the EMO button if dispensing system or a workpiece is in danger of
being damaged.
• Use standard Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions when working near sensitive
components. Always wear a grounding strap and connect it to the ESD ground before
handling workpieces.
• Immediately contain and clean up any caustic or conductive fluid spills as recommended in
the material manufacturer’s MSDS. If fluid gets into internal portions of the machine,
immediately contact Asymtek Technical Support.
• Follow all recommended system maintenance procedures.
• Always keep the dispensing area clear of any fallen workpieces or obstacles.
• Ensure that no air intakes or exhaust grilles are blocked when the system is in operation.
WARNING! CAUTION!
Failure to comply with any of the safety recommendations could cause serious
injury to the user or damage to the dispensing system.
