1.4.4. Fire, explosion, static electricity hazards
Incorrect earthing, insufficient ventilation, flames or sparks can cause an explosion or fire which can lead
to serious injury.
To avoid these risks, especially when using the pumps, it is imperative to:
• connect the equipment, the parts to be treated, the product and cleaning agent canisters to the
ground,
• to ensure a good ventilation,
• keep the work area clean and free of rags, paper, solvents,
• do not operate electrical switches in the presence of vapors or during application,
• stop application immediately in the presence of electrical arcs,
• to store all liquids outside of the work areas,
• use products with the highest possible flash point to avoid any risk of formation of flammable gases
and vapors (consult the safety data sheets of the products),
• equip drums with a lid to reduce the diffusion of gases and vapors in the cabin,
• the use of explosive products or gases is forbidden.
• during assembly and disassembly, transport to and from the site of use and maintenance, there is a risk
of sparking due to friction, blows and friction or due to electrostatic charging. Therefore, make sure that
these risks are eliminated during these work sequences or that you work in a non-explosive atmosphere.
• regularly clean the surface of the gun body and remove any dust or paint layers.
1.4.5. Toxic chemicals hazards
Toxic materials or vapors can cause serious injury through contact with the body, in the eyes, under the
skin, but also by ingestion or inhalation. It is imperative:
• to know the type of material used and the dangers it represents,
• to store the materials to be used in appropriate areas,
• to contain the material used during the application in a container designed for this purpose,
• to dispose the materials in accordance with the legislation of the country where the equipment is used,
• to wear clothing and protection designed for this purpose,
• to wear goggles, hearing, gloves, shoes, coveralls and respiratory masks.
