1.1 General Safety
IMPORTANT!
Some manuals may contain addendums that detail new or updated information. Before
reading a manual, make sure to review all available addendums located at the end of the
manual.
WARNING!
Electrical shock risk - de-energize controller prior to connecting, disconnecting or
servicing the controller, hot runner or mold.
WARNING!
Electrical hazard - risk of shock or personal injury. ALWAYS make sure that the screw
on the back of the top portion of the controller, marked with the general warning
symbol, is installed when the controller is energized. This is the grounding point for
the top cover to the chassis. Removal of this screw could cause an unsafe condition
unless proper precautions are taken, such as Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO).
WARNING!
Gas/vapor hazard - risk of respiratory injury. Certain processed materials could release
harmful gas, vapors or dust. Install an exhaust system according to local codes. Plastic
degrades with prolonged exposure to the setpoint temperature. Do not leave machine
and controller unattended.
