Machine Safety Labels
The following safety labels may appear on the equipment. If ignored, physical injury, death, or equipment damage may occur. Read the complete safety information provided in the operation, installation or maintenance guide before installing, operating, or maintaining the equipment.
WARNING! Electrical Shock Hazard
This symbol indicates the presence of life-threatening voltages. Never access areas labeled as such without first taking appropriate safety precautions: locking out power, verifying no voltage is present on circuits prior to maintenance activities, etc.
Electrostatic Discharge
Attention! Observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices.
Watch Hands and Fingers
Keep the motor guards in place at all times during operation. Keep hands way from belts and pulleys when performing maintenance.
Caution: Pinch Point Hazard
When closing the lid, keep your hands clear from the edge of the tank.
Keep Fingers and Hands Away From Moving Parts!
Fingers and hands can be pinched or cut by a moving parts hazard whenever the table is powered. Keep hands and fingers out of the path of moving parts. Never reach into moving machinery.
Keep Hands Away From Jet
Never place your hands in the vicinity of the nozzle while cutting. Seek immediate medical attention in the event of a waterjet injury. Injuries caused by high-pressure abrasive waterjets are serious. Do not delay!
Flying Debris/Loud Noise
Eye and ear protection are required during operation. Removing the abrasive feed tube from the nozzle while under pressure will blow abrasive particles into the air, getting into eyes and could contaminate tools and machines.
Do Not Operate With Guard Removed
Do not operate machine with guards or panels removed.
Do Not Spray
Do not spray water on or near the machine electrical enclosure.
MANDATORY ACTION! Disconnect Power
To isolate the machine from its electrical supply, always unplug the main AC
supply power cord from its electrical supply outlet.
Wear Eye Protection
Always wear approved safety glasses whenever cutting. Regular glasses do not provide sufficient eye protection! The garnet abrasive is not a chemical irritant, but if not quickly washed out, it can injure an eye just as any sand would. In addition, tank water could contain particles from the material or chemical irritants. Have an eyewash station located near the work area in the event abrasive spray splashes into your eyes.
Wear Ear Protection
Always wear hearing protection while in the vicinity of the equipment. When cutting above water, noise levels can exceed 70 dBA.
Wear Gloves
Bacteria in the tank water can build up. A minor break in the skin can introduce harmful bacteria into a wound. Always wear protective gloves if you have cuts or open wounds on your hands. When setting up material for cutting, wear gloves that provide protection against sharp metal edges.
Read Manual
Read the equipment operator's guide for specific operator instructions and additional safety requirements. Do not attempt to operate this machine until you have read and understand all safety precautions and operating instructions.
Step Hazard
Never step, stand or walk on the support slats. They are weakened with cutting and may collapse under your weight.
Read Manual First!/Do Not Adjust
Never make adjustments to equipment prior to reading the manual. Special instructions may be required.
Safety Legend
The following safety signal word panels and paragraph notifications may appear throughout this and other documentation. Each provides safety issue identification and recommended actions to avoid the hazard. Be alert!
Follow the recommended safety actions and precautions to prevent injury or damage to the equipment.
