AREA
Tells where haz-
ards may occur.
HAZARD
Tells what the hazard is.
SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Electrical
Equipment Electrical Discharge
High voltage equipment is uti-
lized in the process. Arcing in
the vicinity of flammable or
combustible materials may oc-
cur. Personnel are exposed to
high voltage during operation
and maintenance.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that may cause a fire or
explosion is lost if safety circuits
are disabled during operation.
Frequent power supply shut-
down indicates a problem in the
system which requires correc-
tion.
An electrical arc can ignite coat-
ing materials and cause a fire or
explosion.
Unless specifically approved for use in hazardous
locations, the power supply, control cabinet, and all
other electrical equipment must be located outside
Class I or II, Division 1 and 2 hazardous areas in
accordance with NFPA-33 and EN 50176.
Turn the power supply OFF before working on the
equipment.
Test only in areas free of flammable or combus-
tible material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only
as instructed.
Production should never be done with the safety
circuits disabled.
Before turning the high voltage on, make sure no
objects are within the sparking distance.
Toxic Substanc-
es Chemical Hazard
Certain materials may be harm-
ful if inhaled, or if there is con-
tact with the skin.
Follow the requirements of the Material Safety
Data Sheet supplied by coating material manufac-
turer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the
air free of accumulations of toxic materials.
Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a
chance of inhaling sprayed materials. The mask
must be compatible with the material being
sprayed and its concentration. Equipment must be
as prescribed by an industrial hygienist or safety
expert, and be NIOSH approved.
