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.
General Safety Improper operation or maintenance
of equipment. Operators should be given adequate
training in the safe use & maintenance of
the equipment (in accordance with the
requirement of NFPA-33 Chapter 15).
Users must comply with all local &
national codes of practice and insurance
company requirements governing
ventilation, fire precaution, operation,
maintenance and house keeping. These
are OSHA Section 1910.94 and 1910.107
and NFPA-33. Risk is reduced by avoiding
or lessening factors 1-7.
All equipment must be grounded for static electricity in accordance with NFPA-77. Be sure to relieve all
