Turbodisk 2 - Safety

3

Electrical Equipment

High voltage equipment is utilized.

Arcing in areas of flammable or

combustible materials may occur.

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 shutdown

indicates a problem in the system

which requires correction.

An electrical arc can ignite coating

materials and cause a fire or

explosion.

The power supply, optional remote control cabinet, and

all other electrical equipment must be located outside

Class I or II, Division 1 and 2 hazardous areas. Refer to

NFPA No. 33, 2000 Edition.

Turn the power supply OFF before working on the

equipment.

Test only in areas free of flammable or combustible

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.

Explosion Hazard /

Incompatible

Materials

Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents

for example: methylene chloride

and 1,1,1,-Trichloro-ethane are not

chemically compatible with the

aluminum that might be used in

many system components. The

chemical reaction caused by these

solvents reacting with aluminum

can become violent and lead to an

equipment explosion.

Aluminum is widely used in other spray application

equipment - such as material pumps, regulators,

triggering valves, etc. Halogenated hydrocarbon

solvents must never be used with aluminum equipment

during spraying, flushing, or cleaning. 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.

Any other type of solvent may be used with aluminum

equipment.

Toxic Substances

Certain material may be harmful if

inhaled, or if there is contact with

the skin.

Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data

Sheet supplied by coating material manufacturer.

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.
