Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
a. HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or
ignite. Severe injury or property damage can
occur.
PREVENTION:
• Ensure adequate ventilation in the spray
zone and sufficient fresh air in the entire
room. Evaporation of flammable sol-
vents will cause an explosive
environment.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static
electric sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
electrical appliances, and hot objects.
Connecting or disconnecting power
cords or working light switches can
make sparks.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in
good working order.
• Use only outdoors in a well-ventilated
area. Flammable vapours are often heav-
ier than air. The turbine contains arcing
parts that emit sparks and can ignite
vapours.
• Follow the material and solvent manu-
facturer's warnings and instructions.
• Do not use materials with a flash point
below 21 °C Flash point is the tempera-
ture that a fluid can produce enough
vapours to ignite (see coating supplier).

• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never
hang plastic to enclose the spray area.
• Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying flammable materials.
b. HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE
TO INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS.

PREVENTION:
• Do not use materials containing bleach
or chlorine.

solvents such as bleach, mildewcide,
methylene chloride and 1,1,1--trichlo-
roethane. They are not compatible with
aluminium.
• Contact your coating supplier about the
compatibility of material with aluminium.
c. HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPOURS
Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other
materials can be harmful if inhaled or come
in contact with the body. Vapours can cause
severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:

be inhaled. Read all instructions supplied
with the mask to be sure it will provide
the necessary protection.
• Wear protective eye-wear.
