OPERATING MANUAL
2.2.1

SAFE HANDLING OF WAGNER SPRAY UNITS

The spray jet is under pressure and can cause dangerous injuries.
Avoid injection of paint or cleaning agents:
Never point the spray gun at people.
Never reach into the spray jet.
Before all work on the device, in the event of work interruptions and functional faults:
- Switch off the energy/compressed air supply.
- Secure the spray gun against actuation.
- Relieve the pressure from the spray gun and unit.
In the event of functional faults: remedy the fault as described in the "Trouble Shooting"
chapter.
In the event of skin injuries caused by paint or cleaning agents:
Note the paint or cleaning agent that you used.
Consult a doctor immediately.
Avoid danger of injury through recoil forces:
Ensure that you have secure footing when operating the spray gun.
Only hold the spray gun briefl y in any one position.
2.2.2

GROUNDING THE UNIT

Depending on the electrostatic charge and the fl ow speed of the spray, an electrostatic
charge may occur in the equipment. In the event of discharge, this may result in the
formation of sparks or fl ames.
Ensure that the unit is grounded for every spraying operation.
Ground the work pieces to be coated.
Ensure that all persons inside the working area are grounded, e.g. that they are wearing
electrostatically conductive shoes.
Wear electrostatically conductive gloves for grounding via the spray gun handle when
spraying.
2.2.3

MATERIAL HOSES

Ensure that the hose material is chemically resistant to the sprayed materials.
Ensure that the material hose is suitable for the pressure generated in the unit.
Ensure that the following information can be seen on the high pressure hose:
- Manufacturer
– Permissible operating overpressure
– Date of manufacture
The electrical resistance of the complete high pressure hose must be less than
1 MOhm.
