SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Personnel
• Operators must NOT wear gloves that insulate
them from the applicator handle.
• ALL personnel in the spraying area MUST wear
non-insulating shoes or alternative grounding
devices so they will be grounded through the
conductive floor. (See Ransburg "Personnel
Grounding" Safety Bulletin.)
• Personnel entering a waterborne paint isolation
enclosure MUST be sure that the system and
the Warning Light are OFF! The grounding hook
must be attached to the paint supply BEFORE
contact, especially during the addition of fluid!
The gate MUST be closed and the interlocks
functioning during use. (See the appropriate
Ransburg equipment manual.)
• The operator MUST turn the power supply OFF
before cleaning or servicing the equipment.
• NEVER immerse an applicator in any liquid.
• Exhaust fans MUST be ON during spraying.
Environment and Equipment
• The spray booth (including its floor), paint reser-
voir (except waterborne), and conveyor MUST
be grounded.
• An adequate, grounded, protective enclosure
that will assure safe isolation from personnel
must surround the supply of waterborne paints.
(See OSHA Standard 1910.107 (h) (10).)
• The spray target and all supporting holders,
hooks, and conveyors MUST be grounded to
the supporting structure. All support devices
MUST be free of accumulated coating material.
• All conductive objects in the spraying area
MUST be removed or grounded.
• A pressure EXPLOSION may occur if HALOGE-
NATED HYDROCARBON solvents are used in
PRESSURIZABLE fluid systems having ALU-
MINUM or GALVANIZED parts. (See Ransburg
"Danger - Explosion Hazard" and "Halogenated
Hydrocarbon" Safety bulletins.)
• The high voltage power supply MUST be
grounded and located outside of the Hazard
Area. (See the appropriate Ransburg equip-
ment manual.)
• Appropriate, functioning fire extinguishing
equipment MUST be provided.
• Good housekeeping is essential to safe oper-
ation. Cleanup and maintenance schedules
should be established by the user. Maintenance
and safety cards should be posted in clear view
of the operator.
• All flammable liquids MUST be in approved,
grounded safety containers. Not more than one
gallon should be in any container and the total
amount in the spray area should be no more
than the minimum required for the operation.
• All applicators MUST be maintained within
proper operating limits. (See the appropriate
Ransburg equipment manual for short circuit
current tests.)
