WARNING
FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in a fire, explosion, or electric shock.
DElectrostatic equipment must be used only by trained, qualified personnel who understand the requirements stated in this instruction manual.
DGround the equipment, personnel in or close to the spray area, the object being sprayed, and all other electrically conductive objects in the spray area. See Ground the System on page 8.
DCheck the spray gun resistance daily. See Test Gun Resistance, page 20.
DIf there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop spraying immediately. Identify and correct the problem.
DProvide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable or toxic vapors. Interlock the gun turbine air supply to prevent operation of the power supply unless the ventilating fans are on. See Ventilate the Spray Booth on page 7.
DWhen flushing or purging electrostatic equipment, use solvents with a flash point equal to or greater than that of the fluid being sprayed.
DTo clean the exterior of the electrostatic equipment, use solvents with a flash point higher than 100_F (38_C).
DUse only
DDo not flush the system with the gun electrostatics turned on.
DDo not turn on the gun electrostatics until all solvent is removed from the system.
DExtinguish all open flames or pilot lights in the spray area.
DKeep the spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
DDo not store any flammable fluids in the spray area.
DDo not turn on or off any light switch in the spray area while operating or if fumes are present.
DDo not smoke in the spray area.
DDo not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluids or toxic fumes can cause a serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin, swallowed, or inhaled.
DKnow the specific hazards of the fluid you are using. Read the fluid manufacturer’s warnings.
DStore hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of the hazardous fluid according to all local, state, and national guidelines.
DWear appropriate protective clothing, gloves, eyewear, and respirator.
