Regulations and Approvals
Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which it is used. Any approvals obtained for
Nordson EFD equipment will be voided if instructions for installation, operation, and service are not followed. If the
equipment is used in a manner not specied by Nordson EFD, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
Personal Safety
To prevent injury, follow these instructions:
• Do not operate or service equipment unless you are qualied.
• Do not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, and covers are intact and automatic interlocks are
operating properly. Do not bypass or disarm any safety devices.
• Keep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing moving equipment, shut off the power supply
and wait until the equipment comes to a complete stop. Lock out power and secure the equipment to prevent
unexpected movement.
• Make sure spray areas and other work areas are adequately ventilated.
• When using a syringe barrel, always keep the dispensing end of the tip pointing towards the work and away
from the body or face. Store syringe barrels with the tip pointing down when they are not in use.
• Obtain and read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for all materials used. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
safe handling and use of materials and use recommended personal protection devices.
• Be aware of less-obvious dangers in the workplace that often cannot be completely eliminated, such as hot
surfaces, sharp edges, energized electrical circuits, and moving parts that cannot be enclosed or otherwise
guarded for practical reasons.
• Know where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves, and re extinguishers are located.
• Wear hearing protection to protect against hearing loss that can be caused by exposure to vacuum exhaust port
noise over long periods of time.
Fire Safety
To prevent a re or explosion, follow these instructions:
• Shut down all equipment immediately if you notice static sparking or arcing. Do not restart the equipment until
the cause has been identied and corrected.
• Do not smoke, weld, grind, or use open ames where ammable materials are being used or stored.
• Do not heat materials to temperatures above those recommended by the manufacturer. Make sure heat
monitoring and limiting devices are working properly.
• Provide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerous concentrations of volatile particles or vapors. Refer to local
codes or the SDS for guidance.
• Do not disconnect live electrical circuits when working with ammable materials. Shut off power at a disconnect
switch rst to prevent sparking.
• Know where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves, and re extinguishers are located.
