warnings, cautions, and instructions are included in equipment
documentation where appropriate.
Make sure all equipment documentation, including these instructions, is
accessible to all persons operating or servicing equipment.
Qualified Personnel
Equipment owners are responsible for making sure that Nordson 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 Nordson equipment in ways other than those described in the
documentation supplied with the equipment may result in injury to persons
or damage to property.

Susing incompatible materials
Smaking unauthorized modifications
Sremoving or bypassing safety guards or interlocks
Susing incompatible or damaged parts
Susing unapproved auxiliary equipment
Soperating equipment in excess of maximum ratings

instructions for installation, operation, and service are not followed.

Safety
1-2
Part 1060125-07 E2020 Nordson Corporation
All phases of equipment installation must comply with all federal, state, and
local codes.
Personal Safety
To prevent injury follow these instructions.
SDo not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified.
SDo not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, or covers are
intact and automatic interlocks are operating properly. Do not bypass or
disarm any safety devices.
SKeep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing any
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.
SRelieve (bleed off) hydraulic and pneumatic pressure before adjusting or
servicing pressurized systems or components. Disconnect, lock out,
and tag switches before servicing electrical equipment.
SObtain and read Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all materials used.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling and use of
materials, and use recommended personal protection devices.
STo prevent injury, 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.
Fire Safety
To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these instructions.
SDo not smoke, weld, grind, or use open flames where flammable
materials are being used or stored.
SProvide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerous concentrations of
volatile materials or vapors. Refer to local codes or your material SDS
for guidance.
SDo not disconnect live electrical circuits while working with flammable
materials. Shut off power at a disconnect switch first to prevent
sparking.
