AREA
Tells where hazards
may occur.
Spray Area
LN-9282-14
HAZARD
Tells what the hazard is.
Fire Hazard
Improper or inadequate
operation and
maintenance procedures
will cause a fire hazard.
Protection against inadvertent
arcing that is capable of
causing fire or explosion is lost
if any safety interlocks are
disabled during operation.
Frequent Power Supply or
Controller shutdown indicates
a problem in the system
requiring correction.
SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present
in the spray area and tested periodically.
Spray areas must be kept clean to prevent the
accumulation of combustible residues.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
The high voltage supplied to the atomizer must
be turned off prior to cleaning, flushing
or maintenance.
When using solvents for cleaning:
•
Those used for equipment flushing should
have flash points equal to or higher than
those of the coating material.
• Those solvents used for cleaning must have
a flash point at minimum of 5°C (9°F) greater
than the ambient temperature. It is the end
users responsibility to insure this condition
is met.
Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the
rates required by NFPA-33, OSHA, country, and
local codes. In addition, ventilation must be
maintained during cleaning operations using
flammable or combustible solvents.
Electrostatic arcing must be prevented. Safe
sparking distance must be maintained between
the parts being coated and the applicator. A
distance of 1 inch for every 10KV of output
voltage is required at all times.
Test only in areas free of combustible material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but
only as instructed.
Non-factory replacement parts or unauthorized
equipment modifications may cause fire or injury.
If used, the key switch bypass is intended for use
only during setup operations. Production should
never be done with safety interlocks disabled.
Never use equipment intended for use in
waterborne installations to spray solvent
based materials.
The paint process and equipment should be set
up and operated in accordance with NFPA-33,
NEC, OSHA, local, country, and European Health
and Safety Norms.
