FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Combustible dust in
work area
can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:
• Use only fluids that meet the following flammability requirements:
•
Material does not sustain burning in accordance with the Standard Test Method for Sustained
Burning of Liquid Mixtures, ASTM D4206.
•
Materials which cannot be ignited, in any mixture with air, by an energy source of less than 500
mJ.
•
Stop operation immediately
if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock
.
Do not use equipment
until you identify and correct the problem.
• Electrostatic equipment must be used only by trained, qualified personnel who understand the
requirements of this manual.
• Ground all equipment, personnel, object being sprayed, and conductive objects in or close to spray
area. Resistance must not exceed 1 megohm. See
Grounding
instructions.
• Do not use pail liners unless they are conductive and grounded.
• Check gun resistance, hose resistance, and electrical grounding daily.
• Use and clean equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Interlock the gun air supply to prevent operation unless ventilating fans are on.
• Only use non-flammable solvents when flushing or cleaning equipment.
• Always turn the electrostatics off when flushing, cleaning or servicing equipment.
• Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic
drop cloths (potential static arc).
• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.
• Keep spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like
just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation.
Get immediate surgical treatment.
• Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
• Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
• Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or
servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
