maintained badly.
f) Use the power tool, accessories, insert tools, etc. in
accordance with these instructions and in a fashion
specified for this special tool type. Take the working
conditions and the activity to be carried out into
consideration. The use of power tools for purposes other than the
intended ones can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Service
a) Have your tool repaired only by qualified specialist
personnel and only with original spare parts. This ensures
that the tool safety is maintained.
b) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or it's service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a safety hazard.
For secure handling of Airless high-pressure spraying units the
following safety regulations are to be observed:
Health protection
U
Caution! Wear breathing equipment: Paint mist and
solvent vapors are damaging to health. Always wear
breathing equipment and only work in well ventilated
rooms or using supplementary ventilating equipment.
It is advisable to wear working clothing, safty glasses,
Danger
ear protection and gloves
Flash point
U
Only use coating materials with a flash point of 21 °C
or above without additional heating.
The flash point is the lowest temperature at which
vapors develop from the coating material.
Danger
These vapors are sufficient to form an inflammable
mixture over the air above the coating material.

Explosion protection

U
Do not use the unit in work places which are covered
to the explosion protection regulations.
Danger
Danger of explosion and fire through
U
sources of flame during spraying work
There may be no sources of flame such as, for
example, open fires, smoking of cigarettes, cigars or
tobacco pipes, sparks, glowing wires, hot surfaces,
Danger
etc. in the vicinity.
Electrostatic charging (formation of
U
sparks or flame)
Under certain circumstances, electrostatic charging
can occur on the unit due to the rate of flow of the
coating material when spraying. On discharging this
Danger
can result in the emergence of sparks or fire. It is
therefore necessary that the unit is always earthed through the
electrical installation. The connection must take place through a
correctly earthed two-pole-and-earth socket outlet.

Ventilation
U
Good natural or artificial ventilation must be ensured in order to
avoid the risk of explosion or fire and damage to health during spray
work.
Secure device and spray gun
U
All hoses, fittings, and filter parts must be secured before
operating spray pump. Unsecured parts can eject at great force
or leak a high pressure fluid stream causing severe injury.
Always secure the spray gun when mounting or dismounting the
tip and in case of interruption to work.
Recoil of spray gun
U
In case of high operating pressure, pulling the
trigger can effect a recoil force of up to 15 N.
If you are not prepared for this, your hand can be
thrust backwards or your balance lost. This can lead
Danger
to injury.
Continuous stress from this recoil can cause
permanent damage to health.
Max. operating pressure
U
Max. permissible operating pressure for spray gun, spray gun
accessories and high-pressure hose may not fall short of the
maximum operating pressure of 200 bar (20 MPa) stated on the
unit.
Coating substance
U
Caution against dangers that can arise from the sprayed substance
and observe the text and information on the containers or the
specifications given by the substance manufacturer.
Do not spray any liquid of unknown hazard potential.
High-pressure hose (safety note)
U
Electrostatic charging of spray guns and the high-pressure hose
is discharged through the high-pressure hose. For this reason the
electric resistance between the connections of the high-pressure
hose must be equal or lower than 197 kΩ/m (60 kΩ/ft.).
For reasons of function, safety and durability, only
i
use genuine WAGNER high-pressure hoses and spray
nozzles. For overview see „Spare parts lists".
Connecting the device
U
A properly earthed socket outlet with earthing contact must be
used for connection. The connection must be equipped with a
residual current protective device with INF ≤ 30 mA.
Setting up the unit
U
When working indoors:
Vapors containing solvents may not be allowed to
build up in the area of the device.
Setting up the unit on the side a way from the sprayed
Danger
object.
A minimum distance of 5 m between the unit and spray
gun is to be maintained.
