Turbodisk 2 - Safety
3
Electrical Equipment
High voltage equipment is utilized.
Arcing in areas of flammable or
combustible materials may occur.
Personnel are exposed to high
voltage during operation 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 shutdown
indicates a problem in the system
which requires correction.
An electrical arc can ignite coating
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 No. 33, 2000 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 circuits
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,-Trichloro-ethane 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,
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 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.
