Nordson EFD Product Safety Statement (continued)
Halogenated Hydrocarbon Solvent Hazards
Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents in a pressurized system that contains aluminum components.
Under pressure, these solvents can react with aluminum and explode, causing injury, death, or property damage.
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents contain one or more of the following elements.
Element Symbol Prefix
Fluorine F “Fluoro-”
Chlorine Cl “Chloro-”
Bromine Br “Bromo-”
Iodine I “Iodo-”
Check the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or contact your material supplier for more information. If you must use
halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, contact your EFD representative for compatible EFD components.
High Pressure Fluids
High pressure fluids, unless they are safely contained, are extremely hazardous. Always release fluid pressure before
adjusting or servicing high pressure equipment. A jet of high pressure fluid can cut like a knife and cause serious
bodily injury, amputation, or death. Fluids penetrating the skin can also cause toxic poisoning.
Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be serious. If you are injured or even suspect an injury:
• Go to an emergency room immediately.
• Tell the doctor that you suspect an injection injury.
• Show the doctor the following note.
• Tell the doctor what kind of material you were dispensing.
WARNING
Medical Alert — Airless Spray Wounds: Note to Physician
Injection in the skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury surgically as soon as possible. Do
not delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected directly into the
bloodstream.
Qualified Personnel
Equipment owners are responsible for making sure that EFD equipment is installed, operated, and serviced by
qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are those employees or contractors who are trained to safely perform
their assigned tasks. They are familiar with all relevant safety rules and regulations and are physically capable of
performing their assigned tasks.

Use of EFD equipment in ways other than those described in the documentation supplied with the equipment may
result in injury to persons or damage to property. Some examples of unintended use of equipment include:
• Using incompatible materials.
• Making unauthorized modifications.
• Removing or bypassing safety guards or interlocks.
• Using incompatible or damaged parts.
• Using unapproved auxiliary equipment.
• Operating equipment in excess of maximum ratings.
• Operating equipment in an explosive atmosphere.
Regulations and Approvals
Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which it is used. Any approvals obtained for
Nordson EFD equipment will be voided if instructions for installation, operation, and service are not followed. If the
equipment is used in a manner not specified by Nordson EFD, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
Personal Safety
To prevent injury, follow these instructions:
• Do not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified.
• Do not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, and covers are intact and automatic interlocks are
operating properly. Do not bypass or disarm any safety devices.
• Keep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing moving equipment, shut off the power supply
and wait until the equipment comes to a complete stop. Lock out power and secure the equipment to prevent
unexpected movement.
• Make sure spray areas and other work areas are adequately ventilated.
• When using a syringe barrel, always keep the dispensing end of the tip pointing towards the work and away
from the body or face. Store syringe barrels with the tip pointing down when they are not in use.
• Obtain and read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for all materials used. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
safe handling and use of materials and use recommended personal protection devices.
• Be aware of less-obvious dangers in the workplace that often cannot be completely eliminated, such as hot
surfaces, sharp edges, energized electrical circuits, and moving parts that cannot be enclosed or otherwise
guarded for practical reasons.
• Know where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves, and fire extinguishers are located.
• Wear hearing protection to protect against hearing loss that can be caused by exposure to vacuum exhaust
port noise over long periods of time.
