ELITE 2000
•
Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to
result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of
fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes.
All parts of the spray system, including the pump, hose
assembly, spray gun and objects in and around the spray
area shall be properly grounded to protect against static
discharge and sparks. Use only conductive or grounded
high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses specified by the
manufacturer.
•
Verify that all containers and collection systems are
grounded to prevent static discharge.
•
Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension
cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
•
Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons.
Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide,
methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier
about compatibility of material with aluminum.
•
Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of
fresh air moving through the area to keep the air within the
spray area free from accumulation of flammable vapors.
Keep pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do not spray
pump assembly.
•
Do not smoke in the spray area.
•
Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark
producing products in the spray area.
•
Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers,
rags, and other flammable materials.
•
Know the contents of the paint and solvents being sprayed.
Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and container
labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the
paint and solvent manufacture's safety instructions.
•
Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) from the spray
object in a well ventilated area (add more hose if necessary).
Flammable vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area
must be extremely well ventilated. The pump contains
arcing parts that emit sparks and can ignite vapors.
•
Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying flammable material.
•
Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VAPORS
Paints, solvents, and other materials can be
harmful if inhaled or come in contact with body.
Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or
poisoning.
PREVENTION:
•
Wear respiratory protection when spraying.
instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will
provide the necessary protection.
•
All local regulations regarding protection against
hazardous vapors must be observed.
•
Wear protective eyewear.
•
Protective clothing, gloves and possibly skin protection
cream are necessary for the protection of the skin. Observe
the regulations of the manufacturer concerning coating
materials, solvents and cleaning agents in preparation,
processing and cleaning units.
WARNING: GENERAL
This product can cause severe injury or property
damage.
PREVENTION:
•
Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, clothing
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 fatigued or under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
•
Do not kink or over-bend the hose. Airless hose can
develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak can
inject material into the skin.
•
Do not expose the hose to temperatures or pressures in
excess of those specified by manufacturer.
•
Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the
equipment.
•
Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
•
Follow all appropriate local, state and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention and operation.
•
The United States Government Safety Standards have
been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA). These standards, particularly part 1910 of
the General Standards and part 1926 of the Construction
Standards should be consulted.
