FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help
prevent fire and explosion:
•
Sprayer generates sparks. Do not spray or flush with flammable materials.
•
Do not spray or clean with materials having flash points lower than 100°F (38°C).
•
Use only non-flammable or water-based materials, or non-flammable paint thinners. For
complete information about your material, request the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from the
material distributor or retailer.
•
Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
•
When spraying oil-based material, use outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor area with a
flow of fresh air.
•
Do not spray combustible materials near an open flame or sources 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.
•
Keep sprayer at least 10 in. (25 cm) away from objects while spraying or flushing.
•
Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
•
Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge.
•
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 or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable
materials.
•
Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and
solvents manufacturer’s safety instructions.
