PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CHART
WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Flammable Spray
Materials When paints or materials are
sprayed, they are broken into
very small particles and mixed
with air. This will cause certain
paints and materials to become
extremely flammable. Never spray near open flames or pilot lights in
stoves or heaters.
Never smoke while spraying.
Provide ample ventilation when spraying indoors.
Toxic Vapors Some paints and coatings may
be harmful if inhaled or allowed
to come into contact with skin or
eyes.
Use a mask or respirator if there is a chance of
inhaling toxic sprayed materials. Masks and
respirators have limits and will only provide pro­
tection against some kinds and limited amounts
of toxic materials. Read mask and respirator
instructions carefully. Consult with a safety expert
or industrial hygienist if you are not sure about
the use of a certain mask or respirator.
Compressed Air Compressed air may propel dirt,
metal shavings, etc. and possibly
cause an injury. Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward a per­
son or part of the body.
Always wear safety goggles or glasses when
spraying.
Pressurized Parts Certain parts are under pressure
whenever the gun is connected
to a pressurized air line. These
parts may be propelled if the gun
is disassembled.
Disconnect the gun from the air line, or com­
pletely depressurize the air line whenever the
gun is to be disassembled.
Explosion Hazard -
Incompatible Materials The solvents 1,1,1-Trichloro-
ethane and Methylene Chloride
can chemically react with the alu­
minum used in most spray equip­
ment, and this gun ancTcup, to
produce an explosion hazard.
Read the label or data sheets for the material you
intend to spray.
1. Do not use any type of spray coating material
containing these solvents.
2. Do not use these solvents for equipment clean­
ing or flushing.
3. If in doubt as to whether a material is compati­
ble - contact your material supplier.
