USE IN AREAS SUBJECT TO EXPLOSION HAZARDS

The spray gun may be used in potentially explosive areas. The following safety regulations
must be observed and followed.
4.4.1

SAFETY REGULATIONS

Observe safety instructions in Chapter 3.2.
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 spray gun.
Use only tools that are made of a permitted material.
Ignition temperature of the coating product
Ensure that the ignition temperature of the coating product is above the maximum
surface temperature.
Surface spraying, electrostatics
Never spray device parts using electrostatic equipment (electrostatic spray gun!).
Medium supporting atomizing
To atomize the product, use only weakly oxidizing gases, e.g., air.
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.
4.5

SETTING UP STATIONARY ELECTROSTATIC SYSTEMS

The spray gun is a component of a stationary coating system. When setting up stationary
coating systems, comply strictly with EN 50176. One of the requirements is that activation
of the high voltage is only possible by using a key. But it must be possible to switch off the
high voltage without a key.
