The Following Hazards Can Occur During The Normal Use Of This Product:

HAZARD

Risk of explosion or fire - flammable materials

WHAT COULD HAPPEN

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 and could result in serious injury or death.
