RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• When paints or
materials are
sprayed, they are
broken into very
small particles and
mi xed with air.This
will cause certain
paints and
materials to
become extremely
flammable and
could result in
serious
injury or death.
• 1,1,1-Trichloroethane
and Methylene
Chloride can
chemically react
with the aluminum
used in most spray
equipment, and
this gun and cup,
to produce an
explosion hazard
and could result
in serous injury or
death.
RISK TO BREATHING
(ASPHYXIATION)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Some paints,
coatings and
solvents may cause
lung damage, and
burns if inhaled or
allowed to come
into contact with
skin or eyes.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Never spray near
open flames or pilot
lights in stoves or
heaters.
• Never smoke while
spraying.
• Provide ample
ventilation when
spraying indoors.
• Read the label or
data sheet for the
material you intend
to spray.
• Never use any type
of spray coating
material containing
these solvents.
• Never use these
solvents for
equipment cleaning
or flushing.
• If in doubt as to
whether a material
is compatible,
contact your
material supplier.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Use a NIOSH
approved mask
or respirator and
protective cloth-
ing designed for
use with your
specific application
and spray materi-
als. Some masks
provide only limited
protection against
toxic materials and
harmful paint sol-
vent. Consult with
a Safety Expert or
Industrial Hygienist
if uncertain about
your equipment or
materials.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Spray guns
operate at
pressures and
velocities high
enough to
penetrate human
and animal flesh,
which could result
in amputation or
other serious injury.
! See a physician
immediately !
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Certain parts are
under pressure
whenever the gun
is connected to
a pressurized air
line.These parts
may be propelled
if the gun is disas-
sembled.
• Compressed air
may propel dirt,
metal shavings,
etc. and possibly
cause an injury.
• Prolonged expo-
sure to air spray
can result in
permanent dam-
age to hearing.

RISK OF CUT OR BURNS
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Never place hands
in front of nozzle.
• Direct spray away
from self and
others.
• Seek immediate
medical attention if
direct spray
contacts
exposed body
parts.
RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Disconnect the
gun from the air
line, or completely
depressurize the
air line whenever
the gun is to
be disassembled.
• Never point any
nozzle or sprayer
toward a person or
part of the body.
• Always wear ANSI
Z87.1 CAN/CSA
Z94.3 approved
safety glasses with
side shields.
• Always wear hear-
ing protection
when operating
spray equipment.
