Health & Safety - General over view of important health and safety

issues relating to this machine


The following instruction manual contains a number of references to controls and procedures
that will ensure safe operation of the machinery. The machines are designed to process
substances that are hazardous to health and therefore it is vital that any materials that are
introduced to the machinery have valid MSDS (material safety data sheets) in place and that
machine operators and maintenance staff are fully informed and trained in the use of the
materials and of the potential hazards.

Users are also advised to ensure that these operator instructions are correctly and adequately
made available to machine operators and maintenance staff.

Assembly
Particularly, attention should be drawn to Section 2.0 to ensure that the machine is correctly
assembled before using and applying compressed air, resin / catalyst pump operation and
solvent cleaning.

Machine Guards
Machine guards that are supplied with this machine must be correctly fitted at all times during
operation. Also during servicing, maintenance staff must ensure due care is taken if it is found
necessary to conduct any operational tests before replacing and securing guards.

Residual Pressure
Care should be taken by maintenance staff of any residual pressures that may be present in the
machine as discussed in the maintenance sections

Organic Peroxides
Particular note should be taken that materials utilised for the various parts of the machine are
specifically selected and designed for use with Organic Peroxides. The nature of such
substances can be reactive with certain metals and plastics. It is therefore imperative that when
renewing parts during maintenance, only genuine Plastech component parts and spare parts be
fitted to the machine.

Leaks & Seals
Any leaks that become evident either compressed air or fluid from machine piping or fittings
must be investigated and corrected as soon as they become evident. Any fluid leaks or
spillages of resin, catalyst or solvent must be immediately cleaned from machine parts or
surrounding area. Cleaning materials used must be safely disposed of in accordance with
recommendations as described on the appropriate MSDS

Safety Notices
All safety use recommendation and warning labels displayed upon the machine cover and
