Personal Safety
To prevent injury follow these instructions.
•
Do not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified.
• Do not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, or covers are intact and
automatic interlocks are operating properly. Do not bypass or disarm any safety
devices.
• Keep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing moving equipment,
shut off the power supply and wait until the equipment comes to a complete stop.
Lock out power and secure the equipment to prevent unexpected movement.
•
Relieve (bleed off) hydraulic and pneumatic pressure before adjusting or servicing
pressurized systems or components. Disconnect, lock out, and tag switches before
servicing electrical equipment.
• While operating manual spray guns, make sure you are grounded. Wear electrically
conductive gloves or a grounding strap connected to the gun handle or other true earth
ground. Do not wear or carry metallic objects such as jewelry or tools.
• If you receive even a slight electrical shock, shut down all electrical or electrostatic
equipment immediately. Do not restart the equipment until the problem has been
identified and corrected.
•
Obtain and read Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all materials used. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling and use of materials, and use
recommended personal protection devices.
• Make sure the spray area is adequately ventilated. To prevent injury, be aware of less-
obvious dangers in the workplace that often cannot be completely eliminated, such as
hot surfaces, sharp edges, energized electrical circuits, and moving parts that cannot
be enclosed or otherwise guarded for practical reasons.
High-Pressure Fluids
High-pressure fluids, unless they are safely contained, are extremely hazardous. Always
relieve fluid pressure before adjusting or servicing high pressure equipment. A jet of
high-pressure fluid can cut like a knife and cause serious bodily injury, amputation, or
death. Fluids penetrating the skin can also cause toxic poisoning.
If you suffer a fluid injection injury, seek medical care immediately. If possible, provide a
copy of the SDS for the injected fluid to the health care provider.
The National Spray Equipment Manufacturers Association has created a wallet card that
you should carry when you are operating high-pressure spray equipment. These cards
are supplied with your equipment. The following is the text of this card:
WARNING:
Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be serious. If you are injured
or even suspect an injury:
• Go to an emergency room immediately.
• Tell the doctor that you suspect an injection injury.
• Show them this card
• Tell them what kind of material you were spraying
