FIRST AID SECTION – WHAT TO DO
In the case of an accident while using any DMP equipment, seek medical attention immediately . Use the
following guidelines for specific safety instances.
Burns
This equipment contains high temperatures and burning laser radiation which could cause 2nd degree burns. Do not
attempt to remove any protective panels. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
If a burn occurs, seek first aid and immediate medical attention. Pushing the E-stop button will de-energize the equipment
components and diffuse the hazardous situation.

Electrocution
The DMP system contains equipment energized at 400 volts. Do not attempt to remove protective panels. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
If electrocution occurs, seek first aid and medical attention immediately. Pushing the E-stop button will de-energize the
equipment components and diffuse the hazardous situation.
Material Inhalation
The material handling process may create a choking or air restriction hazard. If someone has difficulty breathing or a "loss
of breath" sensation, transport the person to a well-ventilated room or outside of the facility. If the condition persists, seek
immediate medical attention.
Powder ingestion
Quickly wipe material from mouth and rinse with water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention if symptoms occur
or when unsure.
Powder skin contact
Powder contamination of the skin may cause soft tissue irritation and/or an allergic reaction. Remove contaminated
clothing and dispose of or properly launder. Brush material off skin, wash affected area with soap and water. Seek medical
attention if symptoms persist.
Powder eye contact
Even non toxic powders may cause soft tissue irritation and/or an allergic reaction. If someone gets powder in his/her eyes
immediately rinse eyes gently but thoroughly with lukewarm water. Also rinse under upper and lower eyelids, for at least
10 to 20 minutes. Seek medical attention when symptoms persist. Eye wash station must be present in the vicinity of all
powder operations.
NOTE: for more specific information regarding first aid in relations to powder, see the applicable SDS
