FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in
work area
can ignite or
explode. Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment can cause static sparking.
To help prevent fire and explosion:
•
Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame or courses
of ignition such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
•
Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static
electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of
paint or solvent fumes. All parts of the spray system, including pump, hose
assembly, spray gun, and objects in and around the spray area shall be properly
grounded to protect against static discharge and sparks. Use Airlessco
conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses.
•
Verify that all container and collection systems are grounded to prevent static
discharge. Do not use pail liners unless they are anti-static or conductive.
•
Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension cords. Do not use a
3-to-2 adapter.
•
Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
•
Do not spray flammable or combustible liquids in a confined area.
•
Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through
the area.
•
Sprayer generates sparks. Keep pump assembly in a well ventilated area at
least 20 feet (6 m) from the spray area when spraying, flushing, cleaning, or
servicing. Do not spray pump assembly.
•
Do not smoke in the spray area or spray where sparks or flame is present.
•
Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in
the spray area.
•
Keep area clean and free of paint and solvents being sprayed. Read all Safety
Data Sheets (SDSs) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents
manufacturer’s safety instructions.
•
Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
