2 Introduction
1.2 Safety First
Operation of the D-580 Series Dispensing System involves air pressure, electrical power, mechanical
devices, and the use of hazardous materials. It is essential that every person servicing or operating the
dispensing system fully understands all hazards, risks, and safety precautions. Refer to Section 2 - Safety
for additional information.
WARNING! CAUTION!
Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for all fluids used with the
dispensing system. The MSDS provides material usage instructions, disposal
instructions, and safety precautions.
1.3 Getting Started
1.3.1 Manuals Supplied
The DispenseMate 580 Series Dispensing System arrives with manuals for installation and operation of

and advanced troubleshooting. Consult only Nordson ASYMTEK manuals unless directed to do otherwise
by the manuals themselves or by the Nordson ASYMTEK Technical Service Group.
