Solvents and coatings can be
highly flammable or combustible,
especially when sprayed.
Operators should be given adequate training in the safe use
and maintenance of the equipment (in accordance with the re-
quirements of NFPA-33, Chapter 15 in U.S.). Users must com-
ply with all local and national codes of practice and insurance
company requirements governing ventilation, fire precautions,
operation, maintenance and housekeeping (in the U.S., these
are OSHA Sections 1910.94 and 1910.107 and NFPA-33).
Halogenated hydocarbon sol-
vents- for example: methylene
chloride and 1,1,1,- Trichloro-
ethane are not chemically com-
patible with the aluminum that
might be used in many system
components. The chemical reac-
tion caused by these solvents
reacting with aluminum can
become violent and lead to an
equipment explosion.

Incompatible Materials
The AGXV spray gun can be used with these solvents. However,
aluminum is widely used in other spray application equipment
— such as material pumps, cups, regulators, valves, etc. Check
all other equipment items before use and make sure they can
also be used safely with these solvents. Read the label or data
sheet for the material you intend to spray. If in doubt as to
whether or not a coating or cleaning material is compatible,
contact your material supplier.
General Safety
Improper operation or mainte-
nance may create a hazard.
1. Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air free
of accumulations of flammable vapors.
2. Smoking must never be allowed in spray area.
3. Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the spray
area.
4. Static discharges must be prevented. Ground (earth) all
conductive objects in the spray area, such as a cleaning
solvent bucket, fire extinguisher, etc.
5. When using solvents for cleaning:
• Those used for equipment flushing must have a flash
point equal to or greater than that of the coating.
• Those used for general cleaning must have flash points
above 100°F (37.8°C).
Fire
Inhaling Toxic Substances
1. Follow the requirements of the Safety Data Sheet supplied
by coating material manufacturer.
2. Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air free
of accumulations of toxic materials.
3. Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance of
inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must be compatible
with the material being sprayed and its concentration.
Equipment must be as prescribed by an industrial hygienist
or safety expert, and be NIOSH approved.
Certain materials may be harmful
if inhaled, or if there is contact
with the skin.
The following hazards may occur during the normal use of this equipment. Please read the following chart.
