Cautions All personnel involved with the installation, operation, and maintenance of
the equipment must read and thoroughly understand the following cautions:
Caution!Caution!
Caution!Caution!
Caution! Never hose or steam-clean the unit. If the surrounding
area is cleaned in this manner, protect the unit by
covering it with plastic or other waterproof material.
OTHERWISE, DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT COULD
OCCUR.
Caution!Caution!
Caution!Caution!
Caution! Do not bend hot melt hoses less than an 18-inch (460
mm) radius. OTHERWISE, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
COULD OCCUR.
Caution!Caution!
Caution!Caution!
Caution! Place Material Safety Data Sheets for the adhesive
near the unit. OTHERWISE, DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT COULD OCCUR.
Warning!Warning!
Warning!Warning!
Warning! The heat that is contained in hot melt material will
continue to penetrate and deeply burn the skin unless
rapidly cooled by external means such as water. Do not
attempt to remove set hot melt adhesive from the skin.
OTHERWISE, PERSONAL INJURY COULD OCCUR.
If hot adhesive comes in contact with the skin,,
,,
, do the following:
1. Immediately immerse the contacted area in clean, cold water.
It is recommended that a source of
clean, cold water be provided near the
hot melt work area.
2. Cover the affected area with a clean, wet compress and see a
physician immediately.
During the heating and melting process, the surface of the adhesive will be
exposed to air. The mixture of polymer fumes and air can catch fire if the hot
melt is overheated.
Warning!Warning!
Warning!Warning!
Warning! Poor ventilation, smoking, and open flames can cause
overheated hot melt to ignite. Adequate ventilation
must be provided. Smoking should be prohibited in the
immediate vicinity of the molten adhesive. Open flames
must be kept away from the area around molten
adhesive. OTHERWISE, DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY,
OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT COULD OCCUR.
Warning!Warning!
Warning!Warning!
Warning! Exposed arcing may ignite the fume/air mixture. Shield
all electrical equipment from melt fumes to avoid
exposed arcing. OTHERWISE, PERSONAL INJURY
OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE COULD OCCUR.
