The solvents l,l,l-Trichlorethane
and Methylene Chloride can
chemically react with aluminum
used in paint spray guns, paint
pumps, etc. and cause an explo-
sion. These solvents can also
react with galvanized compo-
nents and cause corrosion and
weakening of parts.
Compressed air from this unit
may contain poisonous carbon
monoxide.
Certain sprayed materials such
as paints, weed kitler, sand,
insecticides, etc., may be harmful
if used in a closed area or if
inhaled.
Compressed air may propel dirt,
metal shavings, etc. and result in
possible injury.
This hazard does not affect your compressor
outfit - but it may affect the equipment used
with the outfit. Read the label or data sheet
for the material you intend to spray. Equip-
ment containing aluminum or galvanized
parts that willcome in contact with these sol-
vents, and that can contain pressure, must
not be used with these solvents, You must
either change the material, or use only
stainless steel spray equipment.

duced by this unit.
