Grounding Fluid Container
When your fluid container is made of conductive metal, you can place it on the grounded floor or
table. When it is made of something else, you cannot.
□
Grounding Cleaning Solvent Can
When the cleaning solvet is made of conductive metal, you can place it on the grounded floor or
table.
Don’t place it on a non-conductive sheet, such as a sheet of paper or corrugated fiberboard.
When you clean the pump or relieve the pressure, hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal container and then pull the trigger.
<<Cleaning Safety Precautions>>
Before you get down to cleaning, check to see that the whole painting system and cleaning can are
properly grounded. (see “Grounding Cleaning Solvent Can.”)
●
When cleaning the system, take off the nozzle in accordance with the procedure set forth in the
<<Nozzle Safety Precautions>> (on page 3), and bring the pressure down to a minimum level (that
is required for flushing with solvent).
●
To prevent electrostatic spark, hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a grounded cleaning
solvent can (made of metal), and trigger the gun for flushing.
<<Solvent Safety Precautions>>
Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvent.
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvent may explode when it comes into contact with the aluminum or plated
portion of pressure vessel (pump, heater, filter, valve, gun, etc.), possibly causing fatal or serious injury.
●
Typical halogenated hydrocarbon solvents.
Chlorines
Trichloroethylene, Tetrachloroethylene, Ethylene chloride
Bromines
n-Propyl
Bromide
Carbon-fluorines
HCFC-225, HFC-43-10mee, HFE-449s1(HFE-7100)
(Shown above are typical examples and there are, of course, other kinds of halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents in the marketplace. Please check with your paint vendors or manufactures for further
details.)
●
Spray-mist-filled atmosphere may cause respiration difficulty and/or intoxication.
Do not spray in an environment where ventilation is poor, such as indoors, in tunnel, inside the tank,
etc. When you spray, exercise care so that the operator, people and livestock near by may not be
affected.
The carbon alloy nozzle is precision-machined. To remove nozzle clogging,
don’t use a hard metal needle but use a soft wooden toothpick, etc. With a
toothpick push the stuffed material from the tip of the nozzle, then air blow.
A hard metal needle, if used, could damage the nozzle orifice beyond repair.
