Safety
Introduction
cautions, and instructions are included in equipment documentation where appropriate.
Make sure all equipment documentation, including these instructions, is accessible to
persons operating or servicing equipment.
Qualied Personnel
Equipment owners are responsible for making sure that Nordson equipment is installed,
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.
Intended Use
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.
Some examples of unintended use of equipment include:
• using incompatible materials
•
• removing or bypassing safety guards or interlocks
• using incompatible or damaged parts
• using unapproved auxiliary equipment
• operating equipment in excess of maximum ratings
Regulations and Approvals
Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which it is
used. Any approvals obtained for Nordson equipment will be voided if instructions for
installation, operation, and service are not followed.

Personal Safety
To prevent injury follow these instructions.
•
• Do 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.
• Keep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing moving equipment,
Lock out power and secure the equipment to prevent unexpected movement.
•
pressurized systems or components. Disconnect, lock out, and tag switches before
servicing electrical equipment.
• While operating manual spray guns, make sure you are grounded. Wear electrically
conductive gloves or a grounding strap connected to the gun handle or other true earth
ground. Do not wear or carry metallic objects such as jewelry or tools.
• If you receive even a slight electrical shock, shut down all electrical or electrostatic
equipment immediately. Do not restart the equipment until the problem has been
•
manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling and use of materials, and use
recommended personal protection devices.
• Make sure the spray area is adequately ventilated. To 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.

death. Fluids penetrating the skin can also cause toxic poisoning.
The National Spray Equipment Manufacturers Association has created a wallet card that
you should carry when you are operating high-pressure spray equipment. These cards
are supplied with your equipment. The following is the text of this card:
WARNING: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 them this card
• Tell them what kind of material you were spraying
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.
Consultation with a plastic surgeon or a reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.
The seriousness of the wound depends on where the injury is on the body, whether the
the wound. If the injected paint contains acrylic latex and titanium dioxide that damage
doctors recommend for an injection injury to the hand includes immediate decompression
of the closed vascular compartments of the hand to release the underlying tissue
distended by the injected paint, judicious wound debridement, and immediate antibiotic
treatment.

• Use only replacement parts that are designed for use with original equipment. Contact
your Nordson representative for parts information and advice.
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
Fluorine F “Fluoro-”
Chlorine Cl “Chloro-”
Bromine Br “Bromo-”
Iodine I “Iodo-”
Check your material SDS or contact your material supplier for more information. If you
must use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, contact your Nordson representative for
information about compatible Nordson components.

Safety
Action in the Event of a Malfunction
and perform the following steps:
• Disconnect and lock out system electrical power. Close hydraulic and pneumatic
• Identify the reason for the malfunction and correct it before restarting the system.
Disposal
Dispose of equipment and materials used in operation and servicing according to local
codes.
Safety Labels
Refer to Table 1-1 for the text of the safety labels and see Figure 1-1 for the location of
the safety labels.
The safety label is provided to help operate and maintain equipment safely.
Table 1-1 Safety Labels
Item Description
1
WARNING:The following information is important to the health and safety of employees. Failure to
follow the messages in this safety notice can result in personal injury, including death, or damage to the
equipment or property.
• Allow only personnel with appropriate training and experience to operate or service the equipment. The use
of untrained or inexperienced personnel to operate or service the equipment can result in injury, including
death, to themselves or others, and damage to the equipment.
• DO NOT place any body part or portion of the body between the drum and the air manifold, or between the
crossbar and the platen/follower plate.
• To safely operate and maintain this equipment, refer to the Safety, Operation, and Maintenance sections in
the applicable product manual. Manuals are available at www.emanuals.nordson.com.
• It is very important to remember that when the ram is in the Neutral position, it is not mechanically locked.
Air pressure remains in the ram cylinders. Small air leaks in the circuit could cause the ram to move. Use
support blocks to prevent the ram from moving when necessary.
• Avoid servicing this equipment from the rear. If service from the rear is unavoidable, lock out all electric and
pneumatic power sources.
2WARNING:Lock out all electrical and pneumatic power sources. DO NOT place hands or body between
the platen/drum and crossbar.
