PRESSURE HAZARDS
Current legislation requires that an
air relief
valve be fitted in the air supply circuit to the air
motor to prevent over pressurisation. This safety feature,ensures that it is not possible to supply
the air motor with excessive air pressure that may cause injury.
Please ensure that
a material drain valve
is fitted in the fluid circuit to drain and depressurise the
circuit. Once depressurised and drained, work /servicing may then commence on the equipment
Please remember to close these valves when restarting the system.
HIGH PRESSURE INJECTION HAZARDS
When working with high pressure equipment, special care is required. Fluid leaks can occur.
There is a risk of material being injected to any exposed parts of body, this could cause severe
injury :
•
medical care must be sought immediately if paint is injected under the skin or in other
parts of the body (eyes, fingers).
•
never point the spray gun at any one. Never try to stop the spray with your hands or fingers
nor with rags or similars.
•
follow the shut down procedure and always depressurize air and fluid circuits
before
carrying out any servicing on the gun (cleaning, checking, maintenance of the material or
cleaning of the gun nozzles).
•
for the guns equipped with a safety device, always lock the trigger when not in use.
FIRE - EXPLOSION - SPARKS - STATIC ELECTRICITY HAZARDS
A poor earth connection, inadequate ventilation, sparks or static electricity can cause an
explosion or fire. to avoid these risks when using or servicing SAMES KREMLIN equipment, the
following safety procedures must be followed :
•
ensure a good earth connection and ground the parts to be handled i.e. solvents, materials,
components and equipment,
•
ensure adequate ventilation,
•
keep working area clean and free from waste solvents, chemicals, or solid waste i.e. rags,
paper and empty chemicals drums,
•
never use electrical switches / power if in an atmosphere of volatile solvent vapour,
•
stop working immediately in case of electrical arcs,
•
never store chemicals and solvents in the working area.
•
use paint whose flash point is the highest possible to prevent from any formation of gas
and inflammable vapours (refer to materials' safety instructions),
•
install a cover on the drums to reduce the diffusion of gas and vapours in the spraybooth.
TOXIC PRODUCT HAZARDS
Toxic products or vapours can cause severe injury not only though contact with the body, but also
if the products are ingested or inhaled. It is imperative :
•
to know the material products and their risks,
•
notified or hazardous materials must be stored in accordance with the regulations,
•
the material must be stored in an appropriate container, never place materials in a
container where there is a risk of spillage or leakage,
•
a procedure must be applied for the safe disposal of waste material. It must comply with all
prevailing regulations and legislations of the country where the equipment is to be used,
•
protective clothing should always be worn in compliance with the material manufacturers'
recommendations,
•
depending on the application and chemical safety instructions, safety glasses, hearing
protective earplug, gloves, foot wear, protective masks and possible breathing equipment
should be worn to comply with the regulations (Refer to chapter "Safety equipment of
SAMES KREMLIN selection guide).
