Safety instructions for fine spray systems
- Keep your work area clean, well lit and free of paint or solvent containers, cloths and other flammable materials. There is a risk of spontaneous combustion. Ensure that you have access to functioning fire extinguishers or extinguishing equipment at all times.
- Ensure that the spray area is well ventilated and that there is sufficient fresh air circulating in the whole area. Evaporating flammable solvents create an explosive environment.
- Do not spray or clean with materials with a flash point lower than 55 °C. Use water-based materials, non-volatile hydrocarbons or similar materials. Volatile evaporating solvents create an explosive environment.
- Do not spray near ignition sources such as static electricity sparks, naked flames, pilot lights, hot objects, engines, cigarettes and sparks created by plugging in and unplugging electric cables or operating switches. These kinds of spark sources can lead to combustion of the surrounding environment.
- Do not spray materials if it is not clear whether they might be dangerous. Unknown materials could create hazardous conditions.
- Do not spray boiling water. Spray only warm water (max. 55 °C) which is free from chemical additives.
- Wear additional personal protection equipment such as appropriate protective gloves and a protective mask or respirator when spraying or handling chemicals. Wearing personal protection equipment appropriate to the conditions reduces your exposure to hazardous substances.
- Take note of possible risks posed by the spray material. Observe the markings on the container or the manufacturer's information regarding the spray material, including the instructions about using personal protective equipment. You must comply with the manufacturer's instructions in order to reduce the risk of fire and of injury caused by poison, carcinogens, etc.
- Keep the battery contacts and the spray system trigger switch free from paint and other liquids. Failure to comply could cause electric shock.
- Supervise children. This will ensure that children do not play with the fine spray system.
- In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.
- Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.
- The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.
- Only use the battery with products from the manufacturer. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting. |
