CHAPTER 2
Safety
This chapter contains a comprehensive list of safety pre
-
cautions that must be followed to ensure safe operation
of the equipment. These precautions must be read and
understood by everyone operating and maintaining the
equipment—before they start working with the equip-
ment. Note that OSHA and state safety agency rules
must be complied with in addition to those given in this
chapter and elsewhere in this manual. Applicable plant
general safety precautions must also be followed.
Safety precautions
FLOW designed your high-pressure waterjet cutting sys-
tem and related equipment with safety in mind.
Throughout the manual, safety precautions and warnings
for specific operations are highlighted. Safety precautions
are also posted on the equipment. The operator and ser
-
vice personnel shall pay particular attention to these pre
-
cautions at all times.
Operators of a high-pressure waterjet cutting system
must treat the system as they would treat any high-speed
cutting tool. Although the waterjet may appear harmless,
it is a high-energy cutting tool capable of cutting many
non-metallic materials such as composites, plastics, and
wood products. Misuse of this equipment or carelessness
in its application can be extremely hazardous to operat
-
ing personnel. Always treat the waterjet cutting system
with respect.
Warnings, cautions, and notes
Service procedures in the waterjet manuals include
safety warnings, cautions, and notes that must be read,
understood, and adhered to. These are specific catego
-
ries of safety notices, and are defined as follows:
WARNING
An operating condition or service
procedure that can result in death or
serious injury to personnel.
CAUTION
Highlights an operating condition or service
procedure that can lead to impaired system
operation or equipment damage.
Note: Highlights an operating or service procedure or
condition that is considered essential for efficient opera
-
tion and service.
