14.3. Risk of fire or explosion
Application using a spray gun, washing, or cleaning equipment by means of
inflammable liquids in spaces containing a continuous atmosphere may cause fire
or explosions.
These tasks must be performed out of doors or in extremely well-ventilated interiors. All
equipment used must be grounded, including hoses, containers and objects to be painted.
Avoid any potential source of ignition, such as the electrostatic charge of a
plastic awning, naked flames in pilot lights, heat points (lighted cigarettes),
electric arcs produced by connections or disconnecting the power supply
cables or switching the lights on or off.
Failure to observe this warning may cause severe injuries and possible loss of life.
The passage of product at high speeds through the pump and the hoses may cause sparks.
These sparks can set fire to the solvent vapours and to the product being applied, to the powder
particles and other inflammable substances, whether application takes place indoors or
outdoors, and there is a risk of fire or explosion as well as of serious injury and material damage.
If sparks are caused by static electricity or if the slightest discharge is felt, STOP DISTRIBUTION
IMMEDIATELY. Stop the system until the problem has been identified and corrected.
In order to prevent the risk of static electricity, the equipment must be grounded in
accordance with the paragraph "Grounding".
Grounding
To avoid risks deriving from static electricity, ground the spray gun and all spraying equipment
being used or which are in the spraying area. CHECK the characteristics of the local electrical
supply for detailed grounding instructions, corresponding to the area and the type of equipment
used. CHECK the grounding of all the spraying equipment.
1.- Electrical equipment: plug to a correctly-grounded current outlet. The extension cables must
be of 3 wires and sized correctly for the consumption of the equipment.
2.- Pneumatic equipment: Ground correctly.
3.- Product hoses: only hoses with an extension not exceeding 50 m. may be used, in order to
ensure continuity of the grounding device. See Electrical Continuity of the Hose.
4.- Spray gun: grounding is made through a connection to a product hose or a correctly grounded
spray gun.
5.- Item to be painted. In accordance with the applicable legislation in force.
6.- Product container: In accordance with the applicable legislation in force.
7.- All containers of solvents used in spraying, in accordance with the applicable legislation
currently in force. Use only containers which are metallic and electrical conductors. Do not place
these containers on non-conductor surfaces such as paper or cardboard which interrupt the
continuity of the grounding of the element.
8.- To maintain grounding continuity during cleaning or decompression, always keep a metallic
part of the spray gun (hand protector) firmly pressed to the side of the container which is placed
on the floor, and then operate the gun.
Safety during spraying
Reduce the risk of product injection, static electricity sparks or splashes, by following the spraying
procedure described below.
