1.4.2 Safety Procedures
Safety procedures must be observed while working on the pump, or any high pressure
part of the installation. Service should only be performed by qualified personnel.
• The high pressure water, 3,800 bar (55,000 psi) in waterjet cutting systems should
not be a cause for concern. Users must have due respect for these pressures and
use proper SAFETY PROCEDURES and SAFE WORK HABITS.
• Everyone associated with the waterjet cutting system must realize that the force of
the waterjet cutting stream can penetrate many dense or strong materials.
• Keep all untrained people away from the waterjet cutting area. Use barriers or
partitions if needed.
• Safety glasses must be worn at all times in the waterjet cutting area.
• All EMERGENCY STOP buttons must be checked periodically. The normal
operating position is pulled out.
• To check: turn on power and activate the EMERGENCY STOP buttons by pushing
them in to see if the power goes off. Each device should be checked on a specified
schedule. Each time the device is checked, it must function or be replaced before
operating the system.
• Apply High Purity Goop (P/N 10084440) to all threaded high pressure connections.
All tubing, fittings and bolted connections should be torqued to recommended
values. Do NOT attempt to tighten or loosen a HP water fitting when the circuit is
pressurized, see High Pressure (HP) Piping Safety.
