High voltage equipment is
utilized in the process. Arcing
in the vicinity of ammable or
combustible materials may
occur. Personnel are exposed
to high voltage during operation
and maintenance.

Frequent power supply shut-
down indicates a problem in
the system which requires
correction.
An electrical arc can ignite
coating materials and cause a

Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance
of inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must be

by an industrial hygienist or safety expert, and be
NIOSH approved.

Aluminum is widely used in other spray application
equipment - such as material pumps, regulators,
triggering valves, etc. Halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents must never be used with aluminum
equipment during spraying, ushing, or cleaning.
Read the label or data sheet for the material you
intend to spray. If in doubt as to whether or not a
coating or cleaning material is compatible, contact
your coating supplier. Any other type of solvent may
beusedwithaluminumequipment.
