SafetyRead and follow these safety instructions. Task- andequipment-specific warnings, cautions, and instructionsare included in equipment documentation whereappropriate.

Make sure all equipment documentation, including theseinstructions, is accessible to persons operating orservicing equipment.

Qualified PersonnelEquipment owners are responsible for making sure thatNordson equipment is installed, operated, and servicedby qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are thoseemployees or contractors who are trained to safelyperform their assigned tasks. They are familiar with allrelevant safety rules and regulations and are physicallycapable of performing their assigned tasks.

Intended UseUse of Nordson equipment in ways other than thosedescribed in the documentation supplied with theequipment may result in injury to persons or damage toproperty.

Some examples of unintended use of equipment include

S using incompatible materials

S making unauthorized modifications

S removing or bypassing safety guards or interlocks

S using incompatible or damaged parts

S using unapproved auxiliary equipment

S operating equipment in excess of maximum ratings

Regulations and ApprovalsMake sure all equipment is rated and approved for theenvironment in which it is used. Any approvals obtainedfor Nordson equipment will be voided if instructions forinstallation, operation, and service are not followed.

Personal SafetyTo prevent injury follow these instructions.

S Do not operate or service equipment unless you arequalified.

S Do not operate equipment unless safety guards,doors, or covers are intact and automatic interlocksare operating properly. Do not bypass or disarm anysafety devices.

S Keep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting orservicing moving equipment, shut off the powersupply and wait until the equipment comes to acomplete stop. Lock out power and secure theequipment to prevent unexpected movement.

S Relieve (bleed off) hydraulic and pneumatic pressurebefore adjusting or servicing pressurized systems orcomponents. Disconnect, lock out, and tag switchesbefore servicing electrical equipment.

S While operating manual spray guns, make sure youare grounded. Wear electrically conductive gloves ora grounding strap connected to the gun handle orother true earth ground. Do not wear or carrymetallic objects such as jewelry or tools.

S If you receive even a slight electrical shock, shutdown all electrical or electrostatic equipmentimmediately. Do not restart the equipment until theproblem has been identified and corrected.

S Obtain and read Material Safety Data Sheets(MSDS) for all materials used. Follow themanufacturer’s instructions for safe handling and useof materials, and use recommended personalprotection devices.

S Make sure the spray area is adequately ventilated.

S To prevent injury, be aware of less-obvious dangersin the workplace that often cannot be completelyeliminated, such as hot surfaces, sharp edges,energized electrical circuits, and moving parts thatcannot be enclosed or otherwise guarded forpractical reasons.

High-Pressure FluidsHigh-pressure fluids, unless they are safely contained,are extremely hazardous. Always relieve fluid pressurebefore adjusting or servicing high pressure equipment. Ajet of high-pressure fluid can cut like a knife and causeserious bodily injury, amputation, or death. Fluidspenetrating the skin can also cause toxic poisoning.

If you suffer a fluid injection injury, seek medical careimmediately. If possible, provide a copy of the MSDS forthe injected fluid to the health care provider.

The National Spray Equipment ManufacturersAssociation has created a wallet card that you shouldcarry when you are operating high-pressure sprayequipment. These cards are supplied with yourequipment. The following is the text of this card:

Flow-Through-Felt Gravity Feed Applicator Tool2

Part 1108200--01 E 2011 Nordson Corporation

WARNING: Any injury caused by highpressure liquid can be serious. If you areinjured or even suspect an injury:

S Go to an emergency room immediately.

S Tell the doctor that you suspect an injection injury.

S Show him this card

S Tell him what kind of material you were spraying

MEDICAL ALERT—AIRLESS SPRAY WOUNDS: NOTETO PHYSICIAN

Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It isimportant to treat the injury surgically as soon aspossible. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity.Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injecteddirectly into the bloodstream.

Consultation with a plastic surgeon or a reconstructivehand surgeon may be advisable.

The seriousness of the wound depends on where theinjury is on the body, whether the substance hitsomething on its way in and deflected causing moredamage, and many other variables including skinmicroflora residing in the paint or gun which are blastedinto the wound. If the injected paint contains acrylic latexand titanium dioxide that damage the tissue’s resistanceto infection, bacterial growth will flourish. The treatmentthat doctors recommend for an injection injury to thehand includes immediate decompression of the closedvascular compartments of the hand to release theunderlying tissue distended by the injected paint,judicious wound debridement, and immediate antibiotictreatment.

Fire Safety

To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these instructions.

S Ground all conductive equipment. Use onlygrounded air and fluid hoses. Check equipment andworkpiece grounding devices regularly. Resistanceto ground must not exceed one megohm.

S Shut down all equipment immediately if you noticestatic sparking or arcing. Do not restart theequipment until the cause has been identified andcorrected.

S Do not smoke, weld, grind, or use open flameswhere flammable materials are being used or stored.

S Do not heat materials to temperatures above thoserecommended by the manufacturer. Make sure heatmonitoring and limiting devices are working properly.

S Provide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerousconcentrations of volatile particles or vapors. Referto local codes or your material MSDS for guidance.

S Do not disconnect live electrical circuits whenworking with flammable materials. Shut off power ata disconnect switch first to prevent sparking.

S Know where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves,and fire extinguishers are located. If a fire starts in aspray booth, immediately shut off the spray systemand exhaust fans.

S Shut off electrostatic power and ground the chargingsystem before adjusting, cleaning, or repairingelectrostatic equipment.

S Clean, maintain, test, and repair equipmentaccording to the instructions in your equipmentdocumentation.

S Use only replacement parts that are designed for usewith original equipment. Contact your Nordsonrepresentative for parts information and advice.

Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvent Hazards

Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents in apressurized system that contains aluminum components.Under pressure, these solvents can react with aluminumand explode, causing injury, death, or property damage.Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents contain one or moreof the following elements:

Element Symbol Prefix

Fluorine F “Fluoro-”

Chlorine Cl “Chloro-”

Bromine Br “Bromo-”

Iodine I “Iodo-”

Check your material MSDS or contact your materialsupplier for more information. If you must usehalogenated hydrocarbon solvents, contact your Nordsonrepresentative for information about compatible Nordsoncomponents.

Action in the Event of aMalfunction

If a system or any equipment in a system malfunctions,shut off the system immediately and perform thefollowing steps:

S Disconnect and lock out system electrical power.Close hydraulic and pneumatic shutoff valves andrelieve pressures.

S Identify the reason for the malfunction and correct itbefore restarting the system.

Disposal

Dispose of equipment and materials used in operationand servicing according to local codes.
