SafetyGuidelines

Thefollowinggeneralguidelines,togetherwiththeinstructionsprovidedthroughoutthisuser

guide,ensureusersafetywhileoperatingandmaintainingtheWaterJetsystem. If the system

is not operated as specified, the user’s safety might be compromised.

• InstallationandremovaloftheWaterJetsystemshouldonlybedonebyqualifiedservice

personnel.

• Serviceoperationsshouldbeperformedonlybypersonnelwhohavebeeninstructedin

relevantsafetyprecautions.

• AllpersonneloperatingormaintainingtheWaterJetsystemshouldknowthelocationoffirst

aidandemergencyequipmentandhowtousethem.Never block access to this

equipment.

• Readandfollowsafetyandmaintenanceinstructionsthatcomewiththewaterpressure

pump.

• Donot directthepressurizedstreamofwateratpeople,animalsorobjects.

• ChecktheWaterJethosesbeforeeachcleaningsession.DonotoperatetheWaterJetifa

hoseisdamagedorcrimped.

• NeveroperatetheWaterJetwhilethecoverisopen.

• Wearearplugsforprotectionagainstloudnoise.

• Ifyousupplyorreplacethepowercable,makesurethatitmeetstherequirementsspecified

inthisdocument.

• ThepowercableshouldbeconnectedataneasilyaccessibleoutletneartheWaterJet.

• Thewalloutletmustbeprotectedbyaresidualcurrentdevice(RCD).

• Neverconnectthepowerplugtoanoutletthatdoesnothaveaground(earth)wire,andnever

disconnecttheground.Doingsocanexposetheoperatortoseriousdangerfromelectric

• Protectelectricalconnectionsfromcontactwithwatersprayandmoisture.

• Neverinsertscrewdrivers,wires,orotherobjectsintothepumporpowersupplyhousing.

• SeveralpartsoftheWaterJetcanremainextremelyhotafteruse.Avoidtouchingthemain

powersupply,thewipermotor,thewaterpumpandthelampsuntiltheyhavecooled.

• Notifyco-workersandthosewhohaveaccesstotheWaterJetsystembeforebeginningnon-

FirstAidforWorkingWithPrintingMaterials

Fullycuredmodelspresentnosafetyorhealth-relatedissues.Ifskinoreyescomeintocontact

withuncuredprintingmaterial,washtheareaimmediatelyandthoroughlywithwater,andfollow

thefirst-aidinstructionsbelow.

ContactwithSkin

Ifuncuredprintingmaterialcomesincontactwithskin:

• Immediatelywashtheaffectedareathoroughlywithsoapandcoolwater,andthenremove

contaminatedclothing.Payparticularattentiontoflushingthehair,ears,noseandotherparts

ofthebodythatarenoteasilycleaned.

• Usecoolwatertopreventskinporesfromopening,sothattheliquidmaterialdoesnoteasily

penetratetheskin.

• Donotusesolventstocleanskin.

• Iflargeareasofskinhavebeenexposed,orifprolongedcontactresultsinblisters,seek

medicalattention.Inanycase,ifirritationpersists,seekmedicalattention.

• Avoidtheaccidentaltransferofprintingmaterialfromthehandstootherareasofthebody,

especiallytotheeyes.

• Ifprotectivecreamwasused,donotreapplyituntiltheskinhasbeencompletelycleansed.

ContactwithEyes

Ifuncuredprintingmaterialcomesincontactwiththeeyes:

• Flushimmediatelywithlargeamountsofwaterfor15minutesandseekmedicalattention.

• Avoidsunlight,fluorescentlight,andothersourcesofultravioletradiation.

Thewearingofcontactlenseswhenhandlingliquidprintingmaterialsisnotrecommended.Ifthe

liquidsplashesintotheeyeswhencontactlensesareworn:

• Immediatelyremovethelensesandflushtheeyeswithwater.

• Cleananddisinfectthecontaminatedlenses.

• Donotwearcontactlensesuntileyeirritationdisappears.

Ingestion

Ifprintingmaterialisswallowed,refertotheinstructionsincludedwiththecartridge.Seek

medical attention immediately.

Inhalation

Vaporsfromprintingmaterialscanbeirritatingtotherespiratorysystem.Ifrespiratoryirritation

occurs:

• Exposethevictimtofreshairimmediately.

• Seekmedicalattentionimmediately.

• Keepthepatientwarmbutnothot.
