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.
Ensure that the device is grounded at all times.
Ground the work pieces to be coated.
Ensure that all persons inside the working area are grounded, e.g. that they are wearing
static dissipative shoes.
Wear dissipative gloves when spraying. The grounding takes place via the spray gun handle.
Grounding of the coating product supply (coating product tank, pump, etc.) is mandatory.

MATERIAL HOSES
Ensure that the hose material is chemically resistant to the sprayed products.
Ensure that the product hose is suitable for the pressure generated in the device.
Ensure that the following information can be seen on the high-pressure hose:
– Manufacturer
– Permissible operating overpressure
– Date of manufacture
Make sure that the hoses are laid only in suitable places. In no case, should hoses be laid
in the following places:
– in high-traffic areas,
– on sharp edges,
– on moving parts, or
– on hot surfaces
Make sure that the hoses are never used to pull or move the equipment.
The electrical resistance of the complete high-pressure hose must be less than 1 Mohm.
