Test Stations - Safety

Fire Hazard

Improper or inadequate op-

eration and maintenance

procedures will cause a fire

hazard.

Protection against inadver-

tent arcing that is capable

of causing fire or explosion

is lost if any safey interlocks

are disabled during opera-

tion. Frequent power supply

shutdown indicates a problem

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 main-

tenance.

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 used for general cleaning must have flash

points above 100°F (37.8°C).

Spray booth ventilation must be kept at the rates

required by NFPA 33, OSHA, and local codes. In

addition, ventilation must be maintained during

cleaning operations using flammable or com-

bustible solvents.

Electrostatic arcing must be prevented.

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 wa-

terborne installations to spray solvent based

materials.

The paint process and equipment should be set

up and operated in accordance with NFPA-33,

NEC, and OSHA requirements.
