mask or respirator whenever there is a chance of inhaling
sprayed materials. The mask must be compatible with the
material being sprayed and its concentration. Respirator
equipment must be NIOSH approved.
reaction caused by these solvents reacting with aluminum can
become violent and lead to an equipment explosion. Guns with
stainless steel internal passageways may be used with these
solvents. However, aluminum is widely used in other spray
application equipment. Check all equipment items before use and
make sure they can also be used safely with these solvents. 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 material supplier.
• Spray gun operators should be given adequate training in the
safe use and maintenance of the equipment. Users must comply
with all local and national codes of practice and insurance
company requirements governing ventilation, fire precautions,
operation, maintenance, and housekeeping. These are OSHA
Sections 1910.94 and 1910.107 and NFPA-33.
• Use of spray guns may cause cumulative trauma disorders
(CTD's). CTD's, when using spray guns, tend to affect the upper
extremities. Factors which may increase the risk of developing a
CTD include:
1. High frequency of the activity.
2. Excessive force, such as gripping, pinching, or pressing with
the hands and fingers.
3. Extreme or awkward finger, wrist, or arm positions.
4. Excessive duration of the activity.
5. Vibration.
6. Repeated pressure on a body part.
7. Working in cold temperatures.
CTD's can also be caused by sports activities. Pain, tingling,
or numbness in the shoulder, forearm, wrist, hands, or fingers,
especially during the night, may be early symptoms of a CTD.
Do not ignore them. Should you experience any such symptoms,
see a physician immediately. Other early symptoms may include
vague discomfort in the hand, loss of manual dexterity, and
nonspecific pain in the arm. Ignoring early symptoms and
continued repetitive use of the arm, wrist, and hand can lead
to a serious disability.

• Solvent and paint coatings can be highly
flammable when sprayed. Adequate ventilation
exhaust must be provided to keep air free of
accumulations of flammable materials. Smoking
• Certain painting solvent materials may be
harmful if inhaled, or if there is contact with
the skin. Always follow the requirements of the
Material Safety Data Sheet supplied by your
coating material manufacturer. Adequate
exhaust ventilation must be provided to keep
