Spray Area
Fire Hazard
Improper or inadequate operation-
ing and maintenance procedures
will cause a fire hazard.
Protection against inadvertent arc-
ing that is capable of causing fire or
explosion is lost if any safety inter-
locks are disabled during operation.
Frequent power supply shutdown
indicates a problem in the system
requiring correction.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the
spray area and tested periodically.
Spray areas must be kept clean to prevent the accumula-
tion of combustible residues.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
The high voltage supplied to the atomizer must be
turned off prior to cleaning, flushing or maintenance.
When using solvents for cleaning:
Those used for equipment flushing should have flash
points equal to or higher than those of the coating
material.
Those used for general cleaning must have flash points
above 100
°
F (37.8
°
C).
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates re-
quired by NFPA- 33, OSHA, and local codes. In addition,
ventilation must be maintained during cleaning opera-
tions using flammable or combustible solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented.
Test only in areas free of combustible material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only as
instructed.
Non-factory replacement parts or unauthorized equip-
ment modifications may cause fire or injury.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for use only
during set-up operations. Production should never be
done with safety interlocks disabled.
Never use equipment intended for use in waterborne
installations to spray solvent based materials.
The paint process and equipment should be set up and
operated in accordance with NFPA-33, NEC, and OSHA
requirements.
