SAFETY REGULATIONS
Safe handling of WAGNER spray devices
Mechanical sparks can form if the device comes into contact with metal.
In an explosive atmosphere:
Do not knock or push the device against steel or rusty iron.
Do not drop the device.
Use only tools that are made of a permitted material.
Ignition temperature of the pumped material
Check that the ignition temperature of the pumped material is higher than the max.
allowable surface temperature.
Medium supporting atomizing
To atomize the material, use only weakly oxidizing gases, e.g. air.
Surface spraying, electrostatic
Do not spray system parts with electrostatic.
Cleaning
If there are deposits on the surfaces, the device may form electrostatic charges. Flames or
sparks can form during discharge.
Remove deposits from the surfaces to maintain conductivity.
Use only a damp cloth to clean the device.
