Cleaning with Solvent and Alcohol In addition to the safety precautions listed above, it is recommended to observe the following precautions when cleaning FB7600 components with solvent (MF10) or alcohol (for example, ethanol): • Apply solvent and alcohol to wiping paper or a lint-free cloth before starting to clean. Avoid applying solvent or alcohol directly to FB7600 components. • Close the container and move it out of the vicinity of the FB7600.When a cleaning procedure that includes the use of solvent or alcohol is finished, make sure to do the following before resuming operation: • Dispose of any used paper or cloth that may contain traces of solvent or alcohol, according to local environmental regulations. • Operate the waste pump to empty the waste bath of any possible traces of solvent or alcohol. • Verify that all FB7600 components that have been cleaned with solvent or alcohol are completely dry before resuming machine operation. Note The use of solvent and alcohol is restricted in California, and may be restricted in other areas, due to its high VOC (volatile organic compound) content. Therefore, in these restricted use areas, you must first clean the component using a dry, lint-free cloth and compressed air. If any cured ink remains, it can be cleaned using a lint-free cloth moistened with solvent or alcohol (as specified in the chapters that follow). Waste Disposal Verify that a covered fireproof container, clearly labeled as hazardous waste, is available for disposal of waste solvent and ink. This container must be electrically grounded during transfer of liquids into or from the container. If solvent-soaked rags or absorbents are used to clean the area, dispose of them in a closed fireproof container and label as hazardous waste. Contact local fire safety, occupational safety and hazardous waste disposal regulatory agencies for information about specific storage and disposal requirements for wastes associated with the printer. Waste containers should not be discharged in sewers and are banned from landfills. 10 HP Scitex Industrial Presses Essential Health and Safety Instructions
