Adhesive melter HB 6000 connect Safety Guidelines afeTy uidelines eneral The information contained in this section applies not only to every- day 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.
Safety Guidelines Adhesive melter HB 6000 connect Warning: System under pressure. Risk of burns or particle projection. Use thermal protective equipment and glasses. Warning: Important information for the correct use of the system. May inclu- de one or several of the previous hazards, and therefore must be kept in mind to avoid damage and injury.
Adhesive melter HB 6000 connect Safety Guidelines The melter/applicator equipment includes an automatic valve de- pressurization system. 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.
