Safety Regulations For Airless Spraying - WAGNER ProSpray 30 Operating Manual

Safety regulations
1. Safety regulations for Airless
spraying
All local regulations in force must be observed.
For secure handling of Airless high-pressure spraying
units the following safety regulations are to be observed:
©
Flash point
Only use coating materials with a flash point
of 21 °C or above without additional heating.
The flash point is the lowest temperature at
which vapours develop from the coating mate-
rial.
Danger
These vapours are sufficient to form an inflam-
mable mixture over the air above the coating
material.
©
Explosion protection
Do not use the unit in work places which are
covered to the explosion protection regula-
tions.
Danger

Danger of explosion and fire
through sources of flame during
spraying work
There may be no sources of flame such as, for
example, open fires, smoking of cigarettes,
cigars or tobacco pipes, sparks, glowing
wires, hot surfaces, etc. in the vicinity.

Danger of injury through the spray
jet
Danger
Caution! Danger of injury through injection!
Never point the spray gun at yourself, other persons or ani-
mals.
Never use the spray gun without spray jet safety guard.
The spray jet may not come into contact with any part of
the body.
All hoses, fittings, and filter parts must be secured before
operating spray pump. Unsecured parts can eject at great
force or leak a high pressure fluid stream causing severe
injury.
In working with Airless spray guns, the high spray pres-
sures arising can cause very dangerous injuries. If contact
is made with the spray jet, coating material can be injected
into the skin. Do not treat a spray injury as a harmless cut.
In the case of injury to the skin through coating material or
solvents, consult a doctor for quick and correct treatment.
Inform the doctor about the coating material or solvent
used.

Secure spray gun against
unintended operation
Always secure the spray gun when mounting or dismount-
ing the tip and in case of interruption to work.
©
Recoil of spray gun
In case of high operating pressure, pulling the
trigger can effect a recoil force of up to 15 N.
If you are not prepared for this, your hand can
be thrust backwards or your balance lost. This
Danger
can lead to injury.
©
Respiratory protection for protec-
tion against vapours of solvents
Wear respiratory protection when spraying.
The user must be provided with a breathing mask.
©
Prevention of occupational illnesses
Protective clothing, gloves and possibly skin protection cream
are necessary for the protection of the skin.
Observe the regulations of the manufacturer concerning
coating materials, solvents and cleaning agents in preparation,
processing and cleaning units.
©
Max. operating pressure
Max. permissible operating pressure for spray gun, spray
gun accessories and high-pressure hose may not fall short
of the maximum operating pressure of 230 bar (23 MPa)
stated on the unit.
©
High-pressure hose (safety note)
Electrostatic charging of spray guns and the high-pressure
hose is discharged through the high-pressure hose. For this
reason the electric resistance between the connections of the
high-pressure hose must be equal or lower than 197 kΩ/m
(60 kΩ/ft.).
For reasons of function, safety and durability
i
use only original WAGNER high-pressure
hoses.
