Always follow local regulations concerning occupational safety and accident prevention. 4.1.1 ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT Electrical devices and equipment To be provided in accordance with the local safety requirements with regard to the operating mode and ambient infl uences.
The liquid ejection devices are to be checked for safe working conditions by an expert (e.g. Wagner Service Technician) as often as necessary or at least every 12 months, in accordance with the guidelines for liquid ejection devices (ZH 1/406 and BGR 500 Part 2 Chapter 2.36).
EDITION 07/2014 ORDER NUMBER DOC 2344500 OPERATING MANUAL 4.2.2 GROUNDING THE DEVICE In order to avoid electrostatic charging of the device, the device must be grounded. Friction, fl owing liquids, and air or electrostatic coating processes create charges. Flames or sparks can form during discharge.
EDITION 07/2014 ORDER NUMBER DOC 2344500 OPERATING MANUAL 4.2.4 CLEANING De-energize the device electrically. Disconnect the pneumatic supply line. Relieve the pressure from the device. Ensure that the fl ash point of the cleaning agent is at least 15 K above the ambient temperature or that cleaning is undertaken at a cleaning station with technical ventilation.
Note: Order the two stickers together. CORRECT USE WAGNER accepts no liability for any damage arising from incorrect use. Use the device only to work with the products recommended by WAGNER. Only operate the device as a whole. Do not deactivate safety fi xtures.

EDITION 07/2014 ORDER NUMBER DOC 2344500 OPERATING MANUAL SPRAY PROCESS 5.4.1 AIRCOAT ROUND JET SPRAY PROCESS In the AirCoat process, the spray product is atomized under a pressure of 3-15 MPa; 30-150 bar; 435-2,176 psi. With the help of an air pressure of 0-0.25 MPa; 0-2.5 bar; 0-36 psi, a soft, spray jet is produced. The spray jet diameter can be adjusted by turning the nozzle nut.
EDITION 07/2014 ORDER NUMBER DOC 2344500 OPERATING MANUAL 5.4.3 ELECTROSTATIC EFFECT The spray gun produces an electrostatic fi eld by means of the high-voltage electrode. As a result, the paint particles atomized by the spray gun are carried to the grounded work piece by kinetic and electrostatic energy where they adhere fi nely dispersed to the object to be sprayed.
EDITION 07/2014 ORDER NUMBER DOC 2344500 OPERATING MANUAL COMMISSIONING AND OPERATION TRAINING ASSEMBLY/COMMISSIONING STAFF WARNING Incorrect installation/operation! Risk of injury and equipment damage. The commissioning staff must have the technical skills to safely undertake commissioning. When commissioning and for all work, read and follow the operating manual and safety regulations for the additionally required system components.
B_03158 is only one example of an electrostatic spraying system. Your WAGNER distributor would be happy to assist you in creating a spraying system solution that meets your individual needs. You must familiarize yourself with the operating instructions and the safety regulations of all additional system components before starting commissioning.
EDITION 07/2014 ORDER NUMBER DOC 2344500 OPERATING MANUAL 6.4.3 AIR SUPPLY The use of an air fi lter with the air regulator (6) ensures that only dry, clean atomizing air gets into the spray gun. Dirt and moisture in the atomizing air worsens the spraying quality and spraying pattern.
EDITION 07/2014 ORDER NUMBER DOC 2344500 OPERATING MANUAL 6.4.5 GROUNDING Perfect grounding of all conductive parts such as fl oors, walls, roofs is important for optimum coating and safety.
