FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or
explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:
•
Do not spray or clean with materials having flash points lower than 100°F (38°C).
Use only non-flammable or water-based materials, or non-flammable paint
thinners. For complete information about your material, request the Safety Data
Sheets (SDSs) from the material distributor or retailer.
•
Do not spray combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition
such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
