AREA
Tells where hazards
may occur.
HAZARD
Tells what the hazard is.
SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Electrical
Equipment
High voltage equipment is uti-
lized. Arcing in areas of flam-
mable or combustible mat-erials
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.
An electrical arc can ignite coat-
ing materials and cause a fire or
explosion.
Turn the power module 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.
Explosion Hazard /
Incompatible Ma-
terials
Halogenated hydrocarbon sol-
vents, for example: methylene
chloride and 1,1,1, - Trichlo-
roethane, are not chemically
compatible with the aluminum
that might be used in many sys-
tem components. The chemical
reaction caused by these sol-
vents reacting with aluminum
can become violent and lead to
an equipment explosion.
Spray applicators require that aluminum inlet fittings
be replaced with stainless steel. (See "Accesso-
ries" list) Aluminum is widely used in other spray
application equipment - such as material pumps,
regulators, valves, etc. Check all other 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 clean-
ing material is compatible, contact your material
supplier. Any other type of solvent may be used
with aluminum equipment.
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 pre-
scribed by an industrial hygienist or safety expert,
and be approved.
