SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Important information that tells how
to prevent damage to equipment, or
how to avoid a situation that may
cause minor inury.
Please read the following chart before using this equipment.
CAUSE
Solvent and coatings can be highly flam-
mable 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.
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents - for
example; methylene chloride and 1, 1, 1 -
Trichloroethane are not chemically com-
patible 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.
Information that you should pay
special attention to.
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 Material 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.
Guns with stainless steel internal passageways may be
used with these solvents. However, aluminum is widely
used in other spray application equipment - such as
material pumps, regulators, valves, and this gun and cup.
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.
