UES AG PowerFill Operating Manual 5
Qualified personnel can only carry out installation and maintenance work, meaning only the personnel that has
been trained on such appliances and who has the required experience and qualification with these or similar
appliances and who is experienced in the safety and accident prevention procedures and thus can recognise
these immediately.
Any work, repairs or maintenance made on the gluing pattern system is only to be carried out when the appli-
ance has been disconnected from the main power supply and the compressed air has been cut off (depressur-
ise the system).
The appliance may not be operated without the relevant casing and safety protection. Beware of exposed mov-
ing and rotating appliance parts such as motor and pump movement and also rising/sinking parts.
Attention! Do not use this appliance for anything other than that, for which it was manufactured!
Many exposed parts of this unit, such as the hot glue hose and order valve operate at a very high temperature,
which can result, when coming into contact with hot and pressurised glue, in severe burns to the skin. There-
fore when operating this unit, filling the melting tanks, installation and construction of a hose and order valves,
protective clothing (safety gloves and glasses as well as clothing and shoes) are to be worn at all time. Several
glues produce poisonous gases, which have to be filtered.
Under no circumstances is the glue application unit to be operated under the following conditions:
- Near escaping substance or exploding gases or materials
- Without the appropriate safety appliances
- Temperatures lower than 5 °C and more than 45 °C
Safety precautions regarding the glue
The utmost care is required when working with hotmelt glues! Material of this kind has a high and quick bond-
ing quality, so that it can even still be very hot when it is hardened and can lead to burns when coming into to
contact with exposed skin.
The safety procedures of the glue manufactures are to be followed. They can be found in the relevant informa-
tion sheet of the respective glue.
Always abide to the operational gluing temperatures suggested by the manufactures!
During work with hotmelt glues wear protective gloves, glasses and long sleeved clothes to reduce the risk of
burns. In the event of an accident happening with hot glue, do not try and remove the glue from the skin but run
the burnt area under cold water until the glue has cooled off and then contact a doctor immediately.
Safety precautions relating to the production machine
The recommended safety procedures when dealing with production- and or packing machines are to be taken
from the manual delivered with these machines.
When installing, operating and maintaining the unit the safety measures referring to the main machine which
the unit is built into must be taken into consideration.
Attention:
Before installation and adjustment work is carried out, the appliance must be
disconnected from the mains!
Safety Instructions
The owner of the hotmelt system is responsible for managing these safety instructions.
Please read them carefully and consider the instructions when dealing with the plant.
