FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or
explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:
•
Do not spray or clean with materials having flash points lower than 100°F (38°C).
Use only non-flammable or water-based materials, or non-flammable paint
thinners. For complete information about your material, request the Safety Data
Sheets (SDSs) from the material distributor or retailer.
•
Do not spray combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition
such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
•
Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static
electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of
paint or solvent fumes. All parts of the spray system, including the sprayer and
objects in and around the spray area shall be properly grounded to protect
against static discharge and sparks.
•
Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static
discharge. Do not use pail liners unless they are anti-static or conductive.
•
Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extensions cords. Do not use
a 3-to-2 adapter.
•
Stop operation immediately
if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock. Do
not use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
•
Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
•
Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving
through the area.
•
Sprayer generates sparks. Keep pump assembly in a well-ventilated when
spraying, flushing, cleaning, or servicing.
•
Do not smoke in the spray area or spray where sparks or flame is present.
•
Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in
the spray area.
•
Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other
flammable materials.
•
Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Safety
Data Sheets (SDSs) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents.
Follow the paint and solvent manufacturer's safety instructions.
•
Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
