Machine Safety Labels
These safety labels can appear on the equipment. If ignored, physical injury, death, or equipment damage may occur. Read the complete safety information in the operation, installation, or maintenance guide before the equipment is installed, operated, or maintained.
WARNING Electrical Shock
Dangerous voltages. Do not access areas with this label before the applicable safety precautions are done; lockout/tagout the power and make sure there is no voltage on the circuits before installation, maintenance, or other work is done.
WARNING Airborne Debris
Eye protection and hearing protection are required during operation. Do not remove the abrasive feed tube from the nozzle or hopper when pressurized. The pressure can blow abrasive into the air, and the abrasive particles can get into the eyes and contaminate tools and machines.
WARNING Keep Fingers and Hands Away From Parts that Move
Keep hands and fingers away from the machine when it moves and during operation. Fingers and hands can be crushed and cut by machine parts when they move. Do not try to gain access to the machine or parts during operation.
WARNING Pinch Risk
Keep hands away from the edge of the catcher tank when the lid is closed.
WARNING Keep Hands Away From Jet
Do not put hands or fingers near the nozzle during operation. Immediately get medical aid for abrasive waterjet injuries. Injuries caused by high-pressure abrasive waterjet systems are dangerous. Do not wait to get medical aid!
WARNING Watch Hands and Fingers
Always keep the motor guards in position during operation. Keep hands away from belts and pulleys during maintenance and service.
Electrostatic Discharge
Attention! Be careful when electrostatic-sensitive devices are touched. Use electrostatic discharge protection procedures.
No Open Flame
Do not smoke near the equipment. Do not operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere. Make sure ignition sources (such as flames or electrostatic discharge) are not near the equipment. Do not store flammable materials near the equipment. Do not use equipment in or around flammable gases or liquids. Do not let explosive or flammable vapors collect in the area around the equipment. Make sure there is good airflow in the work area to dissipate gases, vapors, and fumes. Be especially careful when machining materials that create sparks, such as titanium, which can cause gases in the catcher tank to explode.
Do Not Operate With Guard Removed
Do not operate when the guards or panels are removed.
Do Not Spray
Do not spray water on or near the machine's electrical enclosure.
Do Not Step
Do not step, stand, or walk on the slats. The slats can become weak after operations and can fall under more weight.
Read Manual First/Do Not Adjust
Do not adjust. Read the manual. Special instructions could be required before adjustments are made. Adjustments to the equipment can have unwanted effects and cause injury or damage.
MANDATORY ACTION Disconnect Power
Always disconnect the primary power cord from the electrical source to isolate the machine from its electrical supply.
Read Manual
Read the equipment operation guide for important safety information and operation instructions. Do not operate this machine until all safety precautions and operation instructions are read and understood.
Wear Hearing Protection
Always wear hearing protection when near the equipment during operation. When operated above water, noise levels can exceed 70 dBA.
Wear Eye Protection
Always wear approved safety glasses when the abrasive waterjet system is operated. Other types of glasses do not give sufficient eye protection! The garnet abrasive is not a chemical irritant, but garnet can cause an eye injury like sand if it is not quickly flushed. Also, the catcher tank water can contain particles from the material or other chemical irritants. Have an eye-wash station near the work area if the abrasive spray gets into the eyes.
Read the product labels and refer to product Safety Data Sheets (SDS) to identify the properties and risks of chemical products and materials referenced in this document. Use good industrial hygiene, safety practices, and personal protective equipment identified in the SDS.
Wear Gloves
The catcher tank water can have dangerous bacteria in it. A small break in the skin can introduce the dangerous bacteria into a wound. Always wear protective gloves if there are cuts or wounds on the hands or fingers. When material is put on or removed from the slat bed, wear gloves that give protection against sharp metal edges.
Read the product labels and refer to product Safety Data Sheets (SDS) to identify the properties and risks of chemical products and materials referenced in this document. Use good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Use personal protective equipment as specified in the SDS.
