an area that has one of the following symbols, pay particular
attention and make certain to heed the safeguard.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard that may cause serious
injury or loss of life. Important safety information will follow.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard to you or to the
equipment. Important information that tells how to prevent
damage to the equipment or how to avoid causes of minor
injuries will follow.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS - Will cause severe injury or
property damage.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as
mildewcide, methylene chloride and 1,1,1 -
trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum.
• Contact your coating supplier about the compatibility of
material with aluminum.
WARNING
NOTE: Notes give important information that should
be given special attention.

HAZARD: GENERAL — May cause property damage or
severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Read all instructions and safety precautions before
operating any equipment.
• Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
• The United States Government Safety Standards have
been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA). These standards, particularly Part 1910 of
the General Standards and Part 1926 of the Construction
Standard should be consulted.
• Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes
all risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet
the minimum specifications and safety devices of the
manufacturer.
• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion
or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of
couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these
conditions exist. Never repair a hose. Replace it with an
identical replacement hose.
• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
• Wear clothing to keep paint off skin and hair.
• Never aim the spray gun at any part of the body.
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS - Paints, solvents,
insecticides, and other materials can be
harmful if inhaled or come in contact with the
body. Vapors can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be inhaled. Read
all instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will
provide the necessary protection.
• Wear protective eyewear.
• Wear protective clothing as required by coating
manufacturer.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes
can explode or ignite. Severe injury and/or
property damage can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to
keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation
of flammable vapors.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electric sparks,
open flames, pilot lights, and hot objects. Connecting or
disconnecting power cords or working light switches can
make sparks.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working
order.
• The power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's safety
precautions and warnings.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a
flashpoint below 70° F (21° C). Flashpoint is the
temperature that a fluid can produce enough vapors to
ignite.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose a spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths
when spraying flammable materials.
HAZARD: SKIN BURN INJURY— Heated parts can cause
severe skin burn injury.
PREVENTION:
• Quick disconnect fittings on the hose and spray gun
become hot during use. Avoid skin contact with quick
disconnect fittings when they are hot. Allow quick
disconnect fittings to cool before disconnecting the spray
gun from the hose.
