Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Fire Hazard
Improper or inadequate oper-
ation and maintenance proce-
dures will cause a fire hazard.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that is capable of causing
fire or explosion is lost if any
safety interlocks are disabled
during operation. Frequent pow-
er supply shutdown indicates a
problem in the system requiring
correction.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in
the spray area and tested periodically.
Spray areas must be kept clean to prevent the
accumulation of combustible residues.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray
area.
The high voltage supplied to the atomizer must
be turned off prior to cleaning, flushing or main-
tenance.
When using solvents for cleaning:
• Those used for equipment flushing should
have flash points equal to or higher than
those of the coating material.
• Those solvents used for cleaning must have
a flash point at minimum of 5 o C (9 o F) greater
than the ambient temperature. It is the end
users responsibility to insure this condition is
met.).
•
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates
required by NFPA-33, OSHA, country, and local
codes. In addition, ventilation must be main-
tained during cleaning operations using flam-
mable or combustible solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented. Safe
sparking distance must be maintained between
the parts being coated and the applicator. A dis-
tance of 1 inch for every 10KV of output voltage
is required at all times.
Test only in areas free of combustible material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but
only as instructed.
Non-factory replacement parts or unautho-
rized equipment modifications may cause fire or
injury.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for
use only during setup operations. Production
should never be done with safety interlocks dis-
abled.
Never use equipment intended for use in water-
borne installations to spray solvent based ma-
terials.
The paint process and equipment should be
set up and operated in accordance with NFPA-
33, NEC, OSHA, local, country, and European
Health and Safety Norms.
