• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Be careful removing cut materials from the water jet cutter. Cutting with a water jet cutter
creates sharp edges. Improper handling of cut materials may result in cuts and abrasions.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of water jet cutters allow you to become
complacent and ignore water jet cutter safety principles. NEVER expose yourself to the
water jet stream. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Water jet cutter use and care
•
Prevent idle water jet cutters from being used by children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the water jet cutter or these instructions to operate the water jet cutter.
Water jet cutters can be dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain water jet cutters. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, water leaks, clogged waste water drains and any other condition that may affect the
water jet cutter’s operation. If damaged, have the water jet cutter repaired before use. A
poorly maintained water jet cutter may result in a risk of shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Disconnect the plug(s) from the power source and the water supply before performing any
maintenance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the water jet cutter
accidentally.
• Use the water jet cutter in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the water jet cutter for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
•
Have your water jet cutter serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the water jet cutter is maintained.
Safety instructions for water jet cutters
•
Never expose yourself to the water jet stream since it may cause severe
injury and water jet injuries are prone to infection. Proper use and care of this water jet
cutter are essential to safe operation. Severe infections can lead to serious medical
problems and cause death.
• Do not attempt to modify or defeat the safety interlock system for any reason. This could
result in exposure to the water jet stream.
• Never allow the water jet cutter to operate without constant supervision of the cutting
process. If the machine malfunctions, immediately follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
shut down.
• Never operate a water jet cutter without proper drainage for the waste water system.
Before use inspect the drainage to ensure proper water flow is not blocked. While in
operation water jet cutters create a continuous flow of waste water which can quickly flood
surrounding areas if not drained away, flooding may increase the risk of personal injury and
electric shock, and may cause water damage to property.
• Never operate a water jet cutter with broken or kinked high-pressure hose lines. Always
ensure the positioning of the hose line is unlikely to cause people to trip, or the kink, loop
and tensile force to be excessive during operation
