Electric Safety; Electrostatic Charging (Formation Of Sparks Or Flames) - Titan Impact 400 Series Operating Manual

safety precautions
hAZArD: hAZArDouS vAporS
Paints, solvents, and other materials can be
harmful if inhaled or come in contact with body.
Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or
poisoning.
preveNTIoN:
•
Wear respiratory protection when spraying.
instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will
provide the necessary protection.
•
All local regulations regarding protection against
hazardous vapors must be observed.
•
Wear protective eyewear.
•
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.
hAZArD: geNerAl
This product can cause severe injury or property
damage.
preveNTIoN:
•
Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
•
Pulling the trigger causes a recoil force to the hand that is
holding the spray gun. The recoil force of the spray gun is
particularly powerful when the tip has been removed and
a high pressure has been set on the airless pump. When
cleaning without a spray tip, set the pressure control knob
to the lowest pressure.
•
Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all
risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the
minimum specifications and safety devices of the pump
manufacturer.
•
ALWAYS follow the material manufacturer's instructions
for safe handling of paint and solvents.
•
Clean up all material and solvent spills immediately to
prevent slip hazard.
•
Wear ear protection. This unit can produce noise levels
above 85 dB(A).
•
Never leave this equipment unattended. Keep away from
children or anyone not familiar with the operation of airless
equipment.
•
Do not spray on windy days.
•
The device and all related liquids (i.e. hydraulic oil) must be
disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.

elecTrIc SAfeTy

Electric models must be earthed. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product
is equipped with a cord having an earthing wire with an
appropriate earthing plug. Connection to the mains only
through a special feed point, e.g. through an error protection
insallation with INF < 30 mA.

DANGER — Work or repairs at the electrical
equipment may only be carried out by a skilled
electrician. No liability is assumed for incorrect
installation. Switch the unit off. Before all repair
work, unplug the power plug from the outlet.
Danger of short-circuits caused by water ingressing into the
electrical equipment. Never spray down the unit with high-
pressure or high-pressure steam cleaners.

These may only be carried out by a skilled electrician. No liability
is assumed for incorrect installation.
1.3
elecTroSTATIc chArgINg (formATIoN of
SpArkS or flAmeS)
Electrostatic charging of the unit may occur
during spraying due to the flow speed of the
coating material. These can cause sparks and
flames upon discharge. The unit must therefore
always be earthed via the electrical system. The
unit must be connected to an appropriately-
grounded safety outlet.
An 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 to or lower than 1 MΩ.
