Intended use statement
Intended use
The machine is used to cut virtually any type of material, including metal, stone, glass, and
composites, across various industrial sectors.
Additional applications may be possible, but only with appropriate adjustments to the machine,
which must be discussed with the manufacturer. A new Conformity Evaluation may be required
and additional guidelines may then apply.
Any other use of the machine is not in accordance with its intended use and therefore not
permissible.
In particular, the machine is not meant for the processing of explosive materials or materials that
release explosive emissions. The machine may not be operated in areas that are vulnerable to
explosions. In addition, the machine is not designed for food processing.
During normal operation of the machine, the operator shall maintain a minimum safe distance of
1200 mm (48 in.) from each side of the machine.
Intended use for ancillary items
• The PASER CF900 Abrasive Delivery System (ADS) is designed for the continuous transport of
abrasive to the abrasive metering system located above the cutting head.
• Spreader bars allow a simple means of cutting small repetitive parts quickly, by duplicating the
same cutting action simultaneously across multiple cutting heads.

Intended user
System operation and maintenance should be done by Flow-trained personnel. However, other
suitably trained personnel may also operate the system and do maintenance on it.
We recommend that all service work be done by Flow Service. However, other suitably trained
personnel may do service work on the system.
Work on the electrical or control system may only be done by trained, certified electricians.
Modifications
Modifications to the system, including all machine, pump, cutting head, software, and ancillary
components, is prohibited after the manufacturer distributes the system. If the system is altered
after distribution, conformity of the machine to the EC directives and standards no longer applies
and the CE mark must be removed.
We recommend the exclusive use of original replacement parts.

Emergency medical information
WARNING! Obtain medical treatment immediately for ANY high-pressure waterjet injuries. Even
minor injuries that are painless or inconspicuous can lead to grave health problems.
It is vital that medical personnel have information about this type of injury. We recommend that anyone
who works with high-pressure waterjet equipment carry a waterproof medical alert card. This card
should describe their work and the nature of injuries inherent in using waterjets. You should also inform
medical personnel what type of abrasive you used and the type of material you cut.
