Introduction

Read and follow these safety instructions. Task- and equipment-specific warnings, cautions and
instructions are included in equipment documentation where appropriate.

Qualified Personnel

Equipment owners are responsible for making sure that EFD equipment is installed, operated and
serviced by qualified personnel. Qualified personnel are those employees or contractors who are trained
to safely perform their assigned tasks. They are familiar with all relevant safety rules and regulations,
and are physically capable of performing their assigned tasks.

Intended Use

Use of EFD equipment in ways other than those described in the documentation supplied with the
equipment may result in injury to persons or damage to property.

Some examples of unintended use of equipment include, but are not limited to:

Regulations and Approvals

Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which it is used. Any approvals
obtained for EFD equipment will be voided if instructions for installation, operation and service are not
followed.

Personal Safety

To prevent injury follow these instructions.

• Do not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified.

• Do not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors or covers are intact and automatic interlocks
are operating properly. Do not bypass or disarm any safety devices.

• If you receive even a slight electrical shock, shut down all electrical equipment immediately.
Do not restart the equipment until the problem has been identified and corrected.

• Obtain and read Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all materials used. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for safe handling and use of materials, and use recommended personal protection
devices.

• To prevent injury, 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.

• This equipment is for indoor use only.

• Use only the power adapter provided with the unit. Contact EFD to purchase a replacement adapter.

• Using incompatible materials

• Making unauthorized modifications

• Removing or bypassing safety guards or
interlocks

Fire Safety

To avoid a fire 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 identified and corrected.

• Do not smoke, weld, grind or use open flames where flammable materials are being used or stored.

• Provide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerous concentrations of volatile particles or vapors.
Refer to local codes or your material MSDS for guidance.

• Do not disconnect live electrical circuits when working with flammable materials. Shut off power
at a disconnect switch first to prevent sparking.

• Know where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves and fire extinguishers are located.

• Clean, maintain, test and repair equipment according to the instructions in your equipment
documentation.

• Use only replacement parts that are designed for use with original equipment. Contact your EFD
representative for parts information and advice.

Action in the Event of a Malfunction

If a system or any equipment in a system malfunctions, shut off the system immediately and perform
the following steps:

• Disconnect and lock out system electrical power.

• Identify the reason for the malfunction and correct it before restarting the system.

Disposal

Dispose of equipment and materials used in operation and servicing according to local and national codes.
