WARNING: Injection hazard. Do not go near a known leak in a
hose or fitting, and stay clear of all spray nozzles or orifices. Do
not point an applicator at yourself or other personnel. The
high-pressure fluid stream can penetrate skin and inject fluid
into the body causing serious injury or death.
To prevent an injection injury, take some basic safety precautions when
operating your equipment.
S
Always handle spray applicators carefully. Do not point a pressurized
gun at yourself or other personnel.
S
Never place hands, fingers, or other parts of your body directly over a
spray nozzle or in front of a leak in a high-pressure system.
S
Never “back-flush” the nozzles. Blocking a nozzle causes the
high-pressure fluid to reverse direction and can lead to an injection
injury.
S
Always relieve system pressure before servicing equipment. Trigger
all applicators and bleed off system pressure.
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents can cause an explosion when used
with aluminum components in a pressurized fluid pumping system
(pumps, heaters, filters, valves, spray guns, and tanks). The explosion
could cause serious bodily injury, death, or substantial property damage.
No available stabilizers will prevent this violent reaction from happening.
WARNING: Never use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents to
clean aluminum parts or to flush any system. Cleaning agents,
coatings and paints, or adhesives may contain halogenated
hydrocarbon solvents. Obtain and read the MSDS for each
material and solvent being used.
S
Use nonhalogenated solvents.
S
Contact your solvent supplier to determine whether your existing
materials and solvents contain halogenated hydrocarbons or to obtain
a suitable, nonhalogenated hydrocarbon solvent for cleaning and
flushing your system.
