1.3 Fluid Safety Guidelines
The effects of solvents and inks are potentially harmful. Whenever they are
used, the following must be observed:
•
BEFORE YOU START read the Material Safety Sheets. If Material
Safety Sheets have not been supplied, please contact InkJet
Incorporated for a copy.
•
The printer must be installed in a well-ventilated area when
working on the printer, or with inks and solvents.
•
YOU MUST wear approved safety glasses to avoid personal injury.
•
YOU MUST wear approved, solvent resistant gloves when in
contact with inks and solvents to avoid personal injury.
•
IMMEDIATELY after use, remove any tissue or cloth that becomes
saturated with ink or solvent. Dispose all items in accordance with
local regulations.
•
STORE all inks and solvents in original containers in a well-
ventilated cabinet away from any heat sources.
•
ENSURE that first aid information is readily available in the event of
ingestion, inhalation, or contact with skin or eyes. All operators
should be trained in First Aid and be aware of the effects or working
with flammable and toxic substances.
•
PROLONGED breathing of make-up fluid or cleaning fluid vapor
may cause drowsiness and/or effects similar to alcoholic
intoxication. Use only in well ventilated areas.
1.4 In Case of Emergency
In an emergency you may need to stop the printer quickly. To do this:
•
Switch the printer’s wall mounted electrical isolator to the off
position to shut off the electricity supply to the printer.
•
Alternatively, switch the printer mains power supply switch at the
side of the printer.
•
Call for medical assistance as required
If possible, the printer should not be left in this state for a long period of time
and should be restarted at the earliest possible opportunity to prevent ink
blockages. If there is a hazard that prevents safe access to the printer’s power
supply, do not attempt to shut down the printer, just vacate the area.
WARNING: IN ALL EMERGENCY CASES, REMOVE THE CASUALTY
FROM THE HAZARD AND CHECK THE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA
SHEETS FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION. EVACUATE THE CASUALTY TO
MEDICAL AID IF REQUIRED.
