For the dangerous areas, please refer to the sketch below: 1.Charging area: Screw is rotating here, do not place iron bar or any foreign matter into this area. 2.Barrel cover area: This is material heating area, with extremely high temperature and has the possible of electric shock. 3.Nozzle area: Material is injected in high pressure in this area. There is the danger of splash. 4.Mold area : This is the high speed and high pressure closing and opening area, very dangerous. Also, the material could be jetted off from the mold. Special care shall be given in this area. 5.Ejecting area: Need special care as powerful mechanical motion is occurring here. 6.Mold clamping mechanism: Need special care as high speed and powerful motion is occurring here.
