Important safety information
–
The below potential hazards may cause an injury or loss of life
HAZARD CAUSE SAFEGUARD
Fire Solvent and coatings can be highly
flammable or combustible, especially
when sprayed. Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep
air free of accumulations of flammable
vapors.
Smoking must NEVER be allowed in the
spray area.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present
in the spray area.
Solvent During cleaning and flushing, solvents
can be forcefully expelled from fluid
and air passages. Some solvents can
cause eye injury. Wear eye protection.
Inhaling Toxic
Substances Certain materials may be harmful if
inhaled or if there is contact with skin. Follow the requirements of the Material
Safety Data Sheet supplied by your coating
material manufacturer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep
the air free of accumulations of toxic
materials.
Explosion Hazard –
Incompatible
Materials
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents
(for example; Methylene chloride and
1,1,1-Thrichloroethane) can
chemically react with aluminum. The
chemical reaction caused by these
solvents reacting with aluminum can
become violent and lead to an
equipment explosion. Guns with Stainless Steel internal
passageways may be used with these
solvents. However, aluminum is widely used
in other spray application equipment
– such
as material pumps, regulators, valves & cups.
Check all equipment items before use and
make sure they can also be used safely with
these solvents. Read the label or data sheet
for the material you intend to spray. If in
doubt as to whether or not a coating or
cleaning material is compatible, contact your
material supplier.
