Safety Notes
Always wear personal safety equipment when using the spray gun.
Toxic fumes and certain materials can be poisonous. Those materials
may create irritation or be otherwise harmful to health. Follow the
recommendations shown on the signs or written on the data sheets.
Always wear a respiratory protection. The safety class of the system
has to be in accordance with the processed materials. Always wear
safety gloves when processing varnish or when cleaning the unit. We
suggest wearing ear and eye protection when operating the spray
gun.
Please keep in mind that the spray gun causes strong vibrations which can
lead to repetitive strain injuries in some cases. Keep sufficient rests.
Keep your working area tidy. Only take as much paint and thinner to your
working area as required for completing the job. Do not keep paint and
thinners in open containers; store them in a safe place which is not easily
accessible to others.
During painting no ignition source (e.g. open flames, lid cigarettes, lamps not
protected against explosion etc.) may be present, because during painting
explosive gases may be formed.
Solvents and coating materials can be easily inflammable or combustible if
they are spilled or sprayed. Always follow the warnings and safety information
of the paint or solvent manufacturers.
With daily use, clean the air spray guns preferably with a washing device for
spray equipment. Do not let the spray gun for a long time in the washing
machine.
Do not use solvents or cleaning fluids based on halogenated hydrocarbons,
such as 1.1.1-Trichlorethane and Methylenechloride, chemical reactions can
occur on the gun as well as on galvanized parts (1.1.1-Trichlorethane with
small quantities of water reacts to hydrochloric acid). Thus the parts may
oxidate; in the worst case the reaction cause an explosion.
When working with potentially explosive material, keep in mind that static
charges may result from circumstances such as cleaning of non-conductive
parts with cloth, the flow of liquids or air through hoses, when spray painting,
etc.
Do not continue using damaged air tools. Do not open the units and do not try
to repair them yourself. Contact a professional or our customer service.
Only use original replacement parts.
