Safety Guidelines
The following general guidelines, together with the instructions provided throughout this user guide,
ensure user safety while operating and maintaining the Balco WaterJet . If the system is not operated
as specified, the user's safety may be compromised.
• Installation and removal of the Balco WaterJet system should only be done by qualified Stratasys
service personnel.
• Service operations should be performed only by personnel who have been instructed in relevant safety
precautions.
• All personnel operating or maintaining the Balco WaterJet should know the location of first aid and
emergency equipment and how to use it. Never block access to this equipment.
• Read and follow safety and maintenance instructions that come with the pressure pump.
• Do not direct the pressurized stream of water at people, animals, or objects.
• Check the WaterJet hoses before each cleaning session. Do not operate the WaterJet if a hose is
damaged or crimped.
• Never operate the WaterJet while the cabinet cover is open.
• Wear earplugs for protection against loud noise.
• The power cable should be connected at an easily accessible electric socket near the WaterJet.
• Never connect the power plug to an outlet that does not have a ground (earth) wire, and never
disconnect the ground. Doing so may expose the operator to serious danger from electric shock.
• The wall outlet must be protected by a residual current device (RCD).
• Protect electrical connections from contact with water spray and moisture.
• Never insert screwdrivers, wires, or other objects into the pump or power supply housing.
• Several parts of the WaterJet can remain extremely hot even after it has stopped operating. Avoid
touching the main power supply, the wiper motor, the pressure pump and the lamps until they have
cooled.
• Notify co-workers and those who have access to the Balco WaterJet system before beginning non-
routine and hazardous work.

authorities.
