SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information relates to USER SAFETY
and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the following symbols. Please pay
particular attention to these sections.
Important safety information –
a hazard that may cause serious
injury or loss of life.
The following hazards may occur during the normal
use of this equipment. Please read the following chart.
HAZARD
Fire
Solvent Spray
Inhaling Toxic Substances
General Safety
Explosion Hazard –
Incompatible Materials
Important information that tells how
to prevent damage to equipment, or
how to avoid a situation that may
cause minor injury.
CAUSE
Solvents and coatings can be highly
flammable or combustible, especially
when sprayed.
During cleaning and flushing, solvents
can be forcefully expelled from fluid
and air passages. Some solvents can
cause eye injury.
Certain materials may be harmful if
inhaled or if there is contact with the
skin.
Improper operation or maintenance
of equipment.
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents,
for example: methylene chloride
and 1,1,1, - Trichlorethylene, are
not chemically compatible with
the aluminum that might be used
in many system components. The
chemical reaction caused by these
solvents reacting with aluminum
can become violent and lead to an
equipment explosion.

SAFEGUARDS
1. Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the
air free of accumulations of flammable vapors.
2. Smoking must never be allowed in the 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 higher than that of the
coating.
• Those used for general cleaning must have flash
points above 100°F (37.8°C).
Wear eye protection
1. Follow the requirements of the Material
Safety Data Sheet supplied by your coating
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.
Operators should be given adequate training in
the safe use and maintenance of the equipment
(in accordance with the requirements of NFPA-33,
Chapter 15 in U.S.).
Users must comply 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).
This spray gun (spray pistol) can be used with
these solvents. However, aluminum is widely used
in other spray application equipment - such as
material pumps, 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.
