AREA
Tells where hazards
may occur.
HAZARD
Tells what the hazard is.
SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Electrical
Equipment
High voltage equipment is utilized.
Arcing in areas of flammable or
combustible materials may occur.
Personnel are exposed to high volt-
age during
operation and maintenance.
Protection against inadvertent arc-
ing that may cause a fire or explosion
is lost if safety circuits are disabled
during operation.
Frequent power supply shut-down
indicates a problem in the system
which requires correction.
An electrical arc can ignite coating
materials and cause a fire or explo-
sion.
The power supply, optional remote control cabinet, and
all other electrical equipment must be located outside
Class I or II, Division 1 and 2 hazardous areas. Refer to
NFPA No. 33, 1995 Edition.
Turn the power supply OFF before working on the
equipment.
Test only in areas free of flammable or combustible
material.
Testing may require high voltage to be on, but only as
instructed.
Production should never be done with the safety cir-
cuits disabled.
Before turning the high voltage on, make sure no objects
are within the sparking distance.
Explosion Hazard /
Incompatible
Materials
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.
Aluminum is widely used in other spray application
equipment - such as material pumps, regulators, trig-
gering valves, etc. Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents
must never be used with aluminum equipment during
spraying, flushing, or cleaning. 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 com-
patible, contact your material supplier. Any other type
of solvent may be used with aluminum equipment.
Toxic Substances Certain material may be harmful if
inhaled, or if there is contact with
the skin.
Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data
Sheet supplied by 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 compat-
ible with the material being spray-ed and its concentra-
tion. Equipment must be as prescribed by an industrial
hygienist or safety expert, and be NIOSH approved.
