Compliance with the following recommended precautions and practices reduces the risk of personal injury

or damage to property during Forte dispensing operation and maintenance.

WARNING!

Failure to comply with any of the safety recommendations could cause serious

injury to the user or damage to the dispensing system.

2.4.1 Safety of Personnel

• Only trained personnel should perform installation, operation, maintenance, and

troubleshooting procedures on the dispensing system.

• There should always be a second person present when performing maintenance on a

system that is powered up.

• Locate, identify, and obey all safety warning labels on your system before initial use. Refer

to the Forte Dispensing System Installation, Operations, and Maintenance Manual for safety

warning labels.

• Immediately push the red Emergency Machine Off (EMO) button on the dispensing system

if personnel are in danger.

• Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and disconnect facility air to Forte Dispensing System before

performing service or maintenance on the dispensing system, see 2.12 Lockout/Tagout of

Electrical and Pneumatic Energy.

• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry while operating the system. Tie back long hair to

prevent it from being caught in moving parts.

• Do not touch any moving parts while the Forte Dispensing System is operating.

• To prevent burn injury, wear thermal gloves when working around heater tooling and fluid

heaters.

• Make sure the main power cable and main air supply hose are securely connected before

operating the dispensing system.

• Relieve pneumatic pressure before adjusting or servicing pressurized components.

• Unplug the power source before performing service or maintenance on the dispensing

system.

• Make sure all facility power sources are safely grounded.

• Routinely inspect all air hoses and electrical cables for damage.

• Make sure power cords and air supply hoses do not cross a walkway or aisle.

• Maintain a clean and orderly work area.

2.4.2 Material Safety

• Follow Safety Data Sheet (SDS) recommendations for the proper handling, cleanup, and

disposal of all materials and fluids and their containers (i.e., syringes, cups, reservoirs, etc.)

used with the dispensing system.

• Know the SDS recommendations for treatment of injury resulting from exposure to

hazardous materials.

• Obtain the SDS from the applicable chemical supplier for chemical substances not provided

with the equipment. These chemical substances include those used for processing,

maintenance, and service of the equipment.

• Follow SDS recommendations for the proper handling and disposal of all materials used for

cleaning dispensing equipment and spills.

• Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as recommended by facility

safety practices and the material manufacturer’s SDS.

• When working with multiple fluids, refer to the SDS to ensure the materials are compatible.

• If possible, save or recycle unused materials. Refer to the SDS before saving or recycling

unused materials.

• DO NOT dispense fluids with a flash point less than 93 °C.

• DO NOT dispense toxic fluids (materials with a TLV of 200 ppm or lower).

2.4.3 Preventing Equipment and Workpiece Damage

• Immediately push the EMO (E-Stop) button if the dispensing system, valve, or a workpiece

is in danger of being damaged.

• Use standard Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions when working near sensitive

components. Always wear a grounding strap and connect it to the ESD ground before

handling workpieces and equipment.

• Perform all recommended maintenance procedures at the suggested intervals.

• Immediately contain and clean up any caustic or conductive fluid spills as recommended in

the material manufacturer’s SDS.

• Use only replacement parts that are designed for use with the original equipment.
