DANGERS and WARNINGS mean that failure to observe the specific instructions may
cause injury to personnel.
2. CAUTIONS mean that failure to observe the specific instructions may damage the
equipment.
Safe Installation and Operation
Read and adhere to the manual!
1. Read this manual before applying electrical power to the equipment. Equipment may
be damaged by incorrect electrical connections.
2. To avoid possible failure of hoses, make sure all hoses are routed to avoid kinking,
tight radius turns (8” or less) and abrasive contact. Hot‐melt hoses should not have
prolonged contact with heat‐absorbing surfaces such as cold floors or metal troughs.
These heat‐absorbing surfaces can alter adhesive flow and cause incorrect
calibration. Hoses should never be covered with materials that prevent heat
dissipation, such as insulation or sheathing. Hoses should be spaced apart from each
other, not making direct contact.
3. Do not use adhesive that is dirty or that may be chemically contaminated. Doing so
can cause system clogging and pump damage.
4. When adhesive hand‐held applicators or other movable applicators are used, never
point them at yourself or at any other person. Never leave a hand‐held applicator's
trigger unlocked when not actually in use.
5. Never activate the heads, hand‐held applicators and/ or other application devices until
the adhesive's temperature is within the operating range. Severe damage could result
to internal parts and seals.
6. Always install the equipment on a flat surface.
7. Never attempt to lift or move the unit when there is molten adhesive in the system.
8. Promptly wipe up fluid spills to avoid potential slips or falls.
9. In case of an emergency or exceptional incident, press the emergency stop button in
order to stop the unit quickly.
10. Use the unit only as it is intended to.
11. Never let the unit run unattended.
12. Operate the unit only in a faultless and fully functional condition. Check and make
sure that all safety devices work in proper form!

Explosion/ Fire Hazard
1. Never operate this unit in an explosive environment.
2. Use cleaning compounds recommended by ITW Dynatec or your adhesive supplier
only.
3. Flash points of cleaning compounds vary according to their composition, so consult
with your supplier to determine the maximum heating temperatures and safety
precautions.
Choice of Adhesive
Substance(s) being processed (e.g., melted, pumped, applied) by ITW equipment is at
the discretion of the user and beyond ITW Dynatec’s control. Any health effects or other
safety-related concerns arising from the melting of those particular substances (e.g.,
hazardous fumes) is the responsibility of the user to identify and mitigate.
DANGER HARMFUL FUMES
PUR adhesives emit fumes (MDI and TDI) that can be dangerous to anyone exposed to
them. These fumes cannot be detected by the sense of smell. ITW Dynatec strongly
recommends that a power‐vented exhaust hood or system be installed over any PUR
system.
Consult with your adhesive manufacturer for specifics about required ventilation. See
also the Special Considerations for Using Reactive HMPUR Adhesives section in this
chapter.
Because of the nature of PUR adhesives to strongly bond in the presence of moisture,
care must be taken to prevent them from curing inside ITW Dynatec equipment.
If PUR adhesive solidifies in a unit, the unit must be replaced. Always purge old PUR
adhesive from the system per your adhesive manufacturer's instructions and time table.
Special Safety Considerations When Using Reactive HMPUR Adhesives
Reactive hot melt PUR (HMPUR) adhesives are known for superior adhesion to
numerous substrates and their exceptional heat, cold and moisture-resistance qualities.
They are an excellent choice for the difficult-to-bond substrates used in a wide range of
environments. HMPUR adhesives chemically cross-link (i.e., cure or thermal-set) to reach
maximum bond strength, typically over a period of 24 to 48 hours after being exposed to
moisture and/or high temperatures.
The advantages of using HMPURs, however, come with special handling requirements.
The adhesive must remain sealed off from the environment and maintained at low
temperatures until it is dispensed, otherwise there is a risk that the adhesive will cross-
link within the glue application equipment, rendering it impervious to melting when it is re-
heated. Most importantly, when over-heated, many HMPURs release gases that can be
hazardous to humans. Therefore, adequate ventilation must be available to prevent injury
to personnel in the workspace. ITW Dynatec PN 114367 Vent Hood is required.
The following is a list of general operational considerations for the use of HMPURs in ITW
Dynatec equipment. In addition, it is important to contact your adhesive manufacturer to
discuss and verify precautions that must be implemented to prevent damage to
equipment and injury to personnel who are working with their products.
1. Assure the workspace has adequate ventilation.

ITW Dynatec
Chapter 2
Safety Instructions
Page 12 DM55 DynaDrum PP V6, Manual No.21-18, Rev.2.19
2. Assure the entire adhesive delivery system is sealed from the environment to the
greatest extent possible to prevent moisture-related adhesive cross-linking.
3. Assure all air is evacuated from the adhesive delivery system as soon as possible
after it has been introduced (i.e., when changing hoses, replacing filters, changing
adhesive supplies, etc.) to prevent moisture-related cross-linking.
4. The ITW Dynatec equipment should not be left dormant (sealed at ambient
temperature) with PUR inside for longer than recommended by your adhesive
manufacturer. The ITW Dynatec system, especially applicators and nozzles, should be
thoroughly purged of adhesive using a PUR purge material if the system will be left
dormant for extended time periods.
5. HMPUR viscosity increases the longer it remains molten within a system and can
cross-link due to temperature exposure. Assure the molten adhesive does not sit
within the ITW Dynatec equipment at operating temperature for more than a
cumulative total of 2 to 4 hours. Utilization of the Temperature Standby feature will
ensure a temperature drop occurs automatically.
6. Turn off any gear pumps in the system if it will not be used for a period of five minutes
or more. Doing so will reduce potential glue degradation.
7. When using spray applicators, the nozzles must be thoroughly cleaned on a regular
basis to prevent the adhesive from cross-linking inside or on the surface of the air
passageways.
8. The adhesive applicators must be either fully sealed or thoroughly cleaned with PUR
purge material if the system is to be idle for more than two hours. Otherwise, HMPUR
adhesive present in the exposed orifices of the applicator could potentially cross-link,
clogging them.
9. Recommended adhesive application temperatures should never be exceeded. Higher
application temperatures may result in higher adhesive viscosities and thermal-related
cross-linking.
10. The use of air dryers such as ITW Dynatec PN 117944 or 117974 are recommended
in humid environments.
There are many advantages to using HMPURs. However, the proper handling of these
unique adhesives is imperative to assure success without damage to equipment or injury
to personnel. ITW Dynatec equipment has been engineered to minimize the effort
required to assure safe and proper handling of HMPURs.
ALLOWING PUR ADHESIVE TO CURE IN A UNIT OR ITS COMPONENTS VOIDS ITW
DYNATEC’S WARRANTY.
Please consult with your ITW Dynatec representative to discuss these topics in further
detail, if necessary.

Treatment for Burns from Hot Melt Adhesives
Measures after being burned:
1. Burns caused by hot melt adhesive must be treated at a burn center. Provide the burn
center's staff a copy of the adhesive's M.S.D.S. to expedite treatment.
2. Cool burnt parts immediately!
3. Do not remove adhesive forcibly from the skin!
4. Care should be used when working with hot melt adhesives in the molten state.
Because they rapidly solidify, they present a unique hazard. Even when first solidified,
they are still hot and can cause severe burns.
5. When working near a hot melt application system, always wear safety shoes, heat-
resistant protective gloves, safety goggles and protective clothes that cover all
vulnerable parts of the body.
6. Always have first-aid information and supplies available.
7. Call a physician and/or an emergency medical technician immediately. Let the burns
medicate by a medic immediately.
Measures in case of fire
1. Please heed that not covered hot parts of the engine and molten hot melt may cause
severe burns. Risk of burns!
2. Work very carefully with molten hot melt. Keep in mind, that already jelled hot melt can
be very hot, too.
3. When working near a hot melt application system, always wear safety shoes, heat-
resistant protective gloves, safety goggles and protective clothes that cover all
vulnerable parts of the body!
Measures in case of fire:
Wear safety shoes, heat-resistant protective gloves, safety goggles and protective
clothes that cover all vulnerable parts of the body.
