The following hazards may occur
during the normal use of this
equipment. Please
following warnings before using this
equipment.
HAZARD: FIRE
CAUSE: Solvent and coatings can be highly
flammable or combustible especially when
sprayed.
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.
HAZARD: SOLVENT SPRAY
read the
CAUSE: During use and while cleaning and
flushing, solvents can be forcefully expelled
from fluid and air passages. Some solvents
can cause eye injury.
SAFEGUARDS: Wear eye protection.
HAZARD: INHALING TOXIC SUBSTANCES
CAUSE: Certain materials may be harmful if
inhaled, or if there is contact with the skin.
SAFEGUARDS: 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.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD
– INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS
CAUSE: Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents
– for example; methylene chloride and
1,1,1, – Trichloroethane 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: 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
