6 Safety
Personal Safety
To prevent injury, follow these instructions.
• Do not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified.
• Do not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, or covers are intact and automatic
interlocks are operating properly. Do not bypass or disarm any safety devices.
• Keep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing moving equipment, shut off the
power supply and wait until the equipment comes to a complete stop. Lock out power and
secure the equipment to prevent unexpected movement.
• Relieve (bleed off) hydraulic and pneumatic pressure before adjusting or servicing pressurized
systems or components. Disconnect, lock out, and tag switches before servicing electrical
equipment.
•Obtain and read Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all materials used. Follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions for safe handling and use of materials, and use recommended personal
protection devices.
• Make sure the spray area is adequately ventilated.
• To prevent injury, be aware of less-obvious dangers in the workplace that often cannot be
completely eliminated, such as hot surfaces, sharp edges, energized electrical circuits, and
moving parts that cannot be enclosed or otherwise guarded for practical reasons.
Fire Safety
To avoid a fire or explosion, follow these instructions.
• Shut down all equipment immediately if you notice static sparking or arcing. Do not restart the
equipment until the cause has been identified and corrected.
• Do not smoke, weld, grind, or use open flames where flammable materials are being used or
stored.
• Do not heat materials to temperatures above those recommended by the manufacturer. Make
sure heat monitoring and limiting devices are working properly.
• Provide adequate ventilation to prevent dangerous concentrations of volatile particles or vapors.
Refer to local codes or your material MSDS for guidance.
• Do not disconnect live electrical circuits when working with flammable materials. Shut off
power at a disconnect switch first to prevent sparking.
• Know where emergency stop buttons, shutoff valves, and fire extinguishers are located. If a fire
starts in a spray booth, immediately shut off the spray system and exhaust fans.
• Clean, maintain, test, and repair equipment according to the instructions in your equipment
documentation.
• Use only replacement parts that are designed for use with original equipment. Contact your
EFD representative for parts and information.
