Aerobell Copes - Safety
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
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 shut-down
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, 1995 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,-Trichloroethane 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.
