Electrical and electronic parts may only be installed by ➤ specialist personnel with electrical training – all other parts, e.g.
Transport, installation, and assembly Observe and adhere to the separate operation manual for the spray gun. 4.3.2 Grounding the machine WARNING The high flow velocities during the airless spray process can result in an electrostatic charge. Static discharges can result in fire and explosions.
Operation 5 Operation The machine must be correctly installed and fully assembled. ➤ Only put the machine into operation if you are equipped with the ➤ prescribed personal protective equipment. Details on this can be found in 2.5.4 ‘Personal protective equipment’ on page 21. The spraying material must be available in sufficient quantity.
Operation 5.2 Spraying Before spraying, the work steps for commissioning must have been performed (see chap. 5.1 ‘Putting the machine into operation’ on page 33). Put the suction into the spraying material. Open the compressed air shut-off valve. Adjust the air inlet pressure such that the pump runs slowly.
Operation Only operate the machine ➤ 30-40 cm with as much air pressure as is required to attain good atomization at the recommended spray distance of approx. 30 - 40 cm. An overly high spraying ➤ pressure increases material consumption and paint mist. Fig.
Operation Worn nozzles lead to excessively high material consumption and adversely affect the quality of the coating. 5.3 Flushing Flushing the machine is necessary during initial commissioning so that the spraying material is not ➤ adversely affected by the test substance that was used to test the faultless function of the machine in the factory, the machine must be flushed with a cleaning agent.

Operation CAUTION If parts of the machine are clogged (e.g. spray nozzle, material filter for the spray gun, material hose, high pressure filter, suction strainer, etc.), the pressure can not completely escape. Material can escape under high pressure when threaded connections are released and injure you.
Operation 5.4 Material change Flush the machine as described in chapter 5.3 ‘Flushing’ on page 36. Let the machine run to empty by taking the suction out of the cleaning agent and triggering the spray gun until air escapes. Close and lock the gun. Completely reduce the air inlet pressure (0 bar).
Operation 5.6 Work interruption Lock the spray gun for even the shortest interruptions to work. Lock the spray gun for short interruptions to work. Observe the pot life of the materials used, in particular when using a multi-component material. The unit must be flushed with the prescribed cleaning agent within the pot life specified by the manufacturer and be completely cleaned.
