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 before using this equipment.
HAZARD
CAUSE
Fire
Solvent and coatings can be highly flammable
or combustible especially when sprayed.
Solvent
During use and while cleaning and flushing,
Spray
solvents can be forcefully expelled from fluid
and air passages. Some solvents can cause
eye injury.
Certain materials may be harmful if inhaled, or
Inhaling Toxic
Substances

Explosion Hazard -
Materials
example; methylene chloride and 1, 1, 1 -
Trichloroethylene 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.

6. Repeated pressure on a body part.
7. Working in cold temperatures.
CTD's can also be caused by such activities
as sewing, golf, tennis bowling, to name a few.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Important information that tells how
to prevent damage to equipment, or
how to avoid a situation that may cause
minor inury.
SAFEGUARDS
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep air free of
accumulations of flammable vapors.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the spray area.
Wear eye protection.
Follow the requirements of the Safety Data Sheet
supplied by your coating material manufacturer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air free of
accumulations of toxic materials.
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.
The MBC-510 can be used with these solvents.
However, aluminum is widely used in other spray application
equipment - such as material pumps, regulators, valves and cups.
Check all 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.
Operators should be given adequate training in the safe use &
maintenance of the equipment (in accordance with the requirements
of NFPA-33, Chapter 15). Users must comply with all local &
national codes of practice & insurance company requirements
governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation, maintenance and
housekeeping. These are OSHA Sections 1910.94 and 1910.107
and NFPA-33.
Pain, tingling, or numbness in the shoulder, forearm, wrist, hands or
fingers, especially during the night, may be early symptoms of a CTD's, or
CTD. Do not ignore them. Should you experience any such
symptoms, see a physician immediately. Other early symptoms may
include vague discomfort in the hand, loss of manual dexterity, and
nonspecific pain in the arm. Ignoring early symptoms and continued
repetitive use of the arm, wrist & hand can lead to serious disability.
Risk is reduced by avoiding or lessening factors 1-7.
