Readcarefully andunderstand whatis con-
tained in the MSDS [Material Safety Data
Sheet]foryourspecicapplication.
For every type of ink or purging primer to be
used with the system, a safety datasheet
must be present, read and understand by
the operators before start using it. A copy
of the MSDS should also be stored in a ne-
arby location if you plan to stock a large
amount of uids in your production plant.
A MSDS copy is attached to every ink or pri-
mer order: please check if the correct uid is
being sent and if the MSDS refers to the ac-
tual product shipped. In case the MSDS is not
contained in the shipment, you can request
a copy to the supplier AMACO stating the or-
der number.
Avoidbreathingtheinkvapors.
Some ink types are irritant for the health,
so take adequate precaution when hand-
ling ink bottles or where you get in con-
tact with free ink, for example in the ne-
arby of every print head ink nozzle plate.
If inhalation succeeded please contact im-
mediately a medical structure.
Avoiddirectinkcontactwithoutskinprotec-
tion.
Wear adequate protection to protect skin
where exists the risk to get in contact with ink
irritant composition, or the specic procedu-
re may lead to contact with it. If contamina-
tion succeeded please contact immediate-
ly a medical structure in your location, and
provide the necessary information about the
substance [see MSDS sheet].

Donotsmokeduringthesystemoperation.
During system normal operation some ink va-
pors may be generated and dissolved in the
air. Explosion and/or ame generation risk
exists, and must be absolutely avoided. Avo-
id to smoking in the locals dedicated to ink
storage and disposal area.
Avoid touching the print heads nozzle with
anyobject.
The accidental contact with the print head
nozzles may lead to a print head damage
resulting in less quality and/or missing ring
bands of the print heads. Also avoid working
with metallic tools in the print heads nearby,
as this may lead to electrostatic discharges
and/or electrocution. High voltage is used to
drive the print heads.
