Equipment

High voltage equipment is uti-
lized. Arcing in areas of flam-
mable or combustible materials
may occur. Personnel are ex-
posed to high voltage during op-
eration and maintenance.

Protection against inadvertent
arcing 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 correc-
tion.

An electrical arc can ignite coat-
ing materials and cause a fire or
explosion.

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 33, 2000 Edition.

Turn the power supply OFF before working on the
equipment.

Test only in areas free of flammable or combus-
tible material.

Testing may require high voltage to be on, but
only as instructed.

Production should never be done with the safety
circuits disabled.

Before turning the high voltage on, make sure no
objects are within the sparking distance.

Incompatible Materials

Incompatible Materials

Halogenated hydrocarbon sol-
vents for example: methylene
chloride and 1,1,1,-Trichloro-
ethane are not chemically com-
patible with the aluminum that
might be used in many system
components. The chemical re-
action caused by these solvents
reacting with aluminum can be-
come violent and lead to an
equipment explosion.

Aluminum is widely used in other spray application
equipment - such as material pumps, regulators,
triggering 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 compatible, 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 manufac-
turer.

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.
