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 equip-
ment. 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 Spray
During cleaning and flushing,
solvents can be forcefully expelled
from fluid fluid and air passages.
Some solvents can cause eye
injury.
Inhaling Toxic
Certain materials may be harmful
Substances if inhaled, or if there is contact
with the skin.
Explosion Hazard Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents
Incompatible - for example; methylene chloride
Materials
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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Important information that tells
how to prevent damage to equip-
ment, 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 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,
cups and regulators, valves, etc. Check all
equipment items before use and make sure
they can also be ued 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.
