1. SAFETY GUIDELINES
General
The information contained in this section applies not only to everyday machine
operation, but also to any procedure carried out on it, whether for preventive
maintenance or in the case of repairs and the replacement of worn out parts.
It is very important to observe the safety warnings in this manual at all times.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to the machine
or the rest of the installation.
Before beginning work on the product, read this manual carefully, and in case
of any doubt, contact our Technical Service Center. We are available for any
clarification that you might need.
Keep manuals in perfect condition and within reach of personnel that use the
machine and perform maintenance on it.
Also provide necessary safety material: appropriate clothing, footwear, gloves
and safety glasses.
In all cases, observe local regulations regarding risk prevention and safety.
Symbols
The symbols used on both the applicator and in this manual always represent
the type of risk we are exposed to. Failure to abide by a warning signal may
result in personal injury and/or damage to the machine or the rest of the
installation.
Warning: Risk of electrical shock. Carelessness may produce injury or death.
Warning: Hot zone with high temperatures. Risk of burns. Use thermal
protective equipment.
Warning: System under pressure. Risk of burns or particle projection. Use
thermal protective equipment and goggles.
Warning: Important information for the correct use of the system. May include
one or several of the previous hazards, and therefore must be kept in mind to
avoid damage and injury.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
Mechanical components
The applicator equipment installation where the applicator is placed, uses
moveable parts that may cause damage or injury. Use the equipment correctly,
and do not remove the safety guards while the equipment is in operation;
prevent the risk of possible entrapment due to moving mechanical parts.
Do not use the product if the safety devices are not in place or appear to be
inadequately installed.
The manual applicator does not presents any risks in terms of mechanical
movements.
Electrical components
The MV applicator operates with a one-phase current LN ~ 230V 50Hz + PE at
a certain rated power. Be sure the the applicator connector is placed correctly
on the hose electrical connector.
Once the applicator is connected to the hose, it will be correctly grounded as
well.
Hydraulic components
As this is a pressurized system, precautions related to this type of equipment
must be observed.
Before each operation, always make sure that the adhesive circuit is
completely free of pressure. There is a high risk of hot particle projection,
along with the corresponding danger of burns.
Use caution with the residual pressure that may remain in the hoses when the
adhesive cools. When reheated, there is a risk of hot particle projection if the
outputs are left open.
Thermal components
The MV applicator operates with temperatures reaching up to 200 °C (392 °F).
Although the applicator has insulated covers, must be operated using
adequate protection (clothing, footwear, gloves and protective glasses) that
completely cover exposed parts of the body.
In case of burns, immediately cool the affected area with clean, cold water.
Seek medical attention as soon as possible from the company’s medical
service or the nearest hospital. Do not try to remove the adhesive material
from the skin.
Noise
The noise level of the system is well below allowable levels, and therefore
does not present a specific risk to be taken into consideration.

Materials
Meler applicators for adhesives are designed for use with different hot-melt
adhesives. They should not be used with any other type of material, which may
cause personal injury or damage to internal system components.
Always use original Meler’ components and replacement parts, which
guarantee the correct system operation and service.
When using adhesive, follow the corresponding guidelines found in the
Technical and Safety Sheets provided by the manufacturer. Pay special
attention to the advised work temperatures in order to prevent adhesive
burning and degradation.
Ventilate the work area adequately in order to remove the vapors produced.
Avoid the prolonged inhalation of these vapors.
