SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the
body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that
injection occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.
• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the
discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with
any part of the body.
• Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray
without nozzle tip guard in place.
• Use STORCH nozzle tips.
• Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips.
In the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying,
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off
the unit and relieving the pressure before removing
the nozzle tip to clean.
• The system remains pressurised after having swit-
ched it off. Do not leave energised or pressurised
units unattended. Follow the Pressure Relief Proce-
dure when the equipment is unattended or not in use,
and before servicing, cleaning, or removing parts.
• Check hoses and parts for signs of damage. Replace
any damaged hoses or parts.
• This system is capable of producing 227 bar. Use
STORCH replacement parts or accessories that are
rated a minimum of 227 bar.
• Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying.
Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly.
• Verify that all connections are secure before opera-
ting the unit.
• Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quick-
ly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in
work area can ignite or explode. Paint or solvent flow-
ing through the equipment can cause static sparking.
To help prevent fire and explosion:
• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights,
cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop
cloths (potential static sparking).
• Ground all equipment in the work area. See Groun-
ding instructions.
• Never spray or flush solvent at high pressure.
• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags
and gasoline.
• Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or
light switches on or off when flammable fumes are
present.
• Use only grounded hoses.
• Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when trigge-
ring into pail. Do not use pail liners unless they are
anti-static or conductive.
• Stop operation immediately if static sparking occurs
or you feel a shock. Do not use equipment until you
identify and correct the problem.
• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, and
a respirator or mask when painting.
• Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children
away from equipment at all times.
• Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support.
Keep effective footing and balance at all times.
• Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
• Do not operate the unit when suffering from fatigue
or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not kink or over-bend the hose.
• Do not expose the hose to temperatures or to pres-
sures in excess of those specified by STORCH.
• Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or
lift the equipment.
• Do not spray with a hose shorter than 7.5 m.
• Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or
modifications may void agency approvals and create
safety hazards.
• Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for
the environment in which you are using it.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINIUM PARTS HAZA-
RD
Use of fluids that are incompatible with alumini-
um in pressurized equipment can cause serious
chemical reaction and equipment rupture. Failure
to follow this warning can result in death, seri-
ous injury, or property damage.
• Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene
chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon sol-
vents or fluids containing such solvents.
• Do not use chlorine bleach.
• Many other fluids may contain chemicals that
can react with aluminium. Contact your materi-
al supplier for compatibility.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Wear appropriate protective equipment when
in the work area to help prevent serious injury,
including eye injury, hearing loss, inhalation of
toxic fumes, and burns. This protective equip-
ment includes but is not limited to:
• Protective eyewear, and hearing protection.
• Respirators, protective clothing, and gloves as
recommended by the fluid and solvent manu-
facturer.
