Compressor Safety - WAGNER SuperCoat 0556730W Operating Manual

HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.
Severe injury and/or property damage can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use materials with a flashpoint below 21° C (70° F).
Flashpoint is the temperature at which a fluid can produce
enough vapors to ignite.
• Do not use the unit in work places which are covered by the
explosion protection regulations.
• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to
keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of
flammable vapors.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks,
electrical appliances, flames, pilot lights, hot objects, and
sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or
working light switches.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Place sprayer sufficient distance 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.
• The equipment and objects in and around the spray area must
be properly earthed (grounded) to prevent static sparks.
• Use only conductive or earthed high pressure fluid hose. Gun
must be earthed (grounded) through hose connections.
• Always flush unit into separate metal container, at low pump
pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly against side
of container to ground container and prevent static sparks.
• Follow material and solvent manufacturer's warnings and
instructions. Be familiar with the coating material's MSDS
sheet and technical information to ensure safe use.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
• When cleaning the unit with solvents, the solvent should
never be sprayed or pumped back into a container with a
small opening (bunghole). An explosive gas/air mixture can
arise. The container must be earthed.
HAZARD: 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. Read all
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.

HAZARD: GENERAL
This product can cause severe injury or property
damage.
PREVENTION:
• Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
• Pulling the trigger causes a recoil force to the hand that is
holding the spray gun. The recoil force of the spray gun is
particularly powerful when the tip has been removed and
a high pressure has been set on the airless pump. When
cleaning without a spray tip, set the pressure control knob to
the lowest pressure.
• Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all
risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the
minimum specifications and safety devices of the pump
manufacturer.
• ALWAYS follow the material manufacturer's instructions for
safe handling of paint and solvents.
• Clean up all material and solvent spills immediately to prevent
slip hazard.
• Wear ear protection. This unit can produce noise levels above
85 dB(A).
• Never leave this equipment unattended. Keep away from
children or anyone not familiar with the operation of airless
equipment.
• Device weighs in excess of 36 kg. Three-person lift is required.
• Do not spray on windy days.
• The device and all related liquids (i.e. hydraulic oil) must be
disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.

Compressor Safety

SuperCoat units are Air-Powered (powered by an air compressor).
Follow all safety precautions given by the compressor manufacturer
regarding electrical and general safety.
Locate the compressor outside the immediate spraying area to avoid
clogged air intake of the compressor with overspray.
If lacquer or other flammable materials are to be
sprayed, ALWAyS locate the compressor outside the
immediate spraying area. Failure to do so may cause
an explosion.
SuperCoat units are equipped with an internal relief valve that is set
to automatically release air pressure if regulated air pressure exceeds
7,2 bar (0,72 MPa). A slight bleed in pressure may occur in the relief
valve as regulated air pressure nears 7,2 bar (0,72 MPa).
If the the relief valve activates, decrease the pressure on the unit's air
regulator by turning it counter-clockwise. This action will reset the
relief valve.
