Safety Instructions
The following Safety Instructions must be observed!
Caution!
Before any repair and adjustment work, unplug from the mains!
Installation and maintenance work may only be performed by trained personnel.
Only those individuals shall be considered suitable who are qualified by specialised training and
experience in dealing with these or similar devices, who know the relevant safety and accident prevention
regulations, and who therefore can recognise and avoid hazards.
Work on the adhesive application system may generally only be conducted when the voltage has been
turned off and the compressed air has been blocked (depressurise the system).
The system must not be operated without the appropriate covers and safety panels. Be careful of non-
covered moving and rotating parts, such as motor and pump shafts, hub and swivelling mechanisms!
Caution!
Do not use the system for anything else than what it was manufactured for!
On many non-covered parts of the applicator device, the hot glue hoses and application guns consist of
high temperatures during operation. Hot and pressurised adhesive may cause severe skin burns.
Therefore, always wear protective clothing, gloves and safety goggles when working on the system, such
as when filling the melting tank or connecting and installing the hoses and valves. Some adhesives
produce toxic fumes that have to be extracted. The hot melt adhesive application equipment may not be
operated under the following circumstances:
• In the vicinity of volatile substances or explosive materials and gasses
• Without adequate protection
• At temperatures of less than 5 °C or more than 45 °C
Security measures with respect to the adhesive
When working with molten hot glue, always be extremely careful! These materials solidify very quickly,
even at high temperatures, so they can still be very hot even in their solid state and can result in burns
when in brought into contact with the skin. The safety precautions of the adhesive manufacturer are to be
observed. These can be found on the data sheet of the adhesive. Comply with the processing
temperatures recommended by the glue manufacturer!
When working with hot melt, wear gloves, safety glasses and long sleeves to prevent burns. In the case
of a burn, do not attempt to remove the glue from a person's skin; instead, hold the wounded site under
cold water until the glue has cooled and then contact a physician.
