FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in fire, explosion, or electric shock, which can result in serious injury.
D Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed. See Grounding on page 7.
D Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvent or the fluid being
sprayed. Never operate the Gun Flush Box unless ventilation fans are operating.
D Eliminate all ignition sources such as pilot lights, cigarettes and plastic drop cloths (static arc haz-
ard). Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off in the spray area.
D Keep the spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
D Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.
D If there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop spraying immediately. Identify and
correct the problem.
Electrostatic Gun Safety
D Do not flush the system with the gun electrostatics turned on.
D Interlock the gun turbine air supply to prevent operation of the power supply during flushing.
D Do not turn on the gun electrostatics until all solvent is removed from the system.
D When cleaning, flushing, or purging electrostatic equipment, use solvents that comply with your
local regulations. For countries following the U.S. National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 33
requirements, use solvents with a flash point higher than 100_ F (38_ C) or a solvent normally
used in spray operations. For European Countries complying with EN 50053, use solvents with a
flash point as high as possible and higher than the ambient temperatures.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can splash fluid in the eyes or on the skin
and cause serious injury.
D Do not bypass the Gun Flush Box interlock sensors. They prevent the Gun Flush Box from operat-
ing unless the gun is in position and the door of the box is locked.
D Connect an interlock to prevent atomizing air from turning on during flushing.
D Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
D Tighten all the fluid connections before operating the equipment.
D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn, damaged, or loose parts immediately.
Permanently coupled hoses cannot be repaired; replace the entire hose.
