painting/cleaning is completed.

WARNING
Do not use gasoline for cleaning.
WARNING
Avoid skin contact with cleaning solvents. Wear impervious gloves, eye protection
and respirator.
d.
Fire Hazards.
WARNING
Observe fire regulations when using paints, lacquers, primers, removers and
thinners; many are highly flammable. Keep away from heat, flames and sparks.
WARNING
Post "NO SMOKING" signs in and within a 50 foot radius of paint spraying and
storage areas.
WARNING
Dried spray-paint dust can pose an extreme fire hazard. Remove and dispose of
this dust daily in accordance with AR 420-47. The danger of fire can be materially
reduced by the use of a water-wash or waterfall type of spray booth.
WARNING
There will be no open flame or spark-producing equipment (e.g. electric sanders)
within a 20 foot radius of any spray-painting area.
WARNING
Wiping cloths soaked with paint residue or oil must either be destroyed or kept in a
container meeting NFPA standards to prevent possible spontaneous combustion.
