Safety instructions for colour application
devices
1. Risks of Fire and Explosion
Combustible gases develop in the work area
when spraying coating substances and due to the
autonomous formation of coating substances and
solvent vapors (danger zone).
Risk of fire and explosion due to ignition sources in
this danger zone.
The electrically operated spray device contains
potential ignition sources (spark formation when
switching the motor on and off, when inserting and
removing the power plug, due to potential static
electricity at the spray gun)
-> Device must not be used at operating sites that fall
under the explosion protection ordinance.
-> Basic unit and mains connection must be located
outside the danger zone.
-> Do not use combustible coating substances and
cleaning agents -> observe product data sheets!
->Always seal paint or solvent containers tightly in
the vicinity of the device.
-> No ignition sources such as open fire, lit tobacco
products, glowing wires, hot surfaces, sparks e.g. due
to angle grinders etc. must be present.
-> When cleaning the device with solvent do not spray
into a container with a small opening (bung hole).
Danger due to formation of an explosive gas/air
mixture.
The container into which you are spraying must be
earthed.
2. Warning: Danger of injury!
Never point spray gun at yourself, other persons or
animals.
3. Wear breathing equipment when spraying.
The user should be supplied with a breathing mask. In order
to avoid occupational diseases, the working instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the materials, solvents
and cleaning agents used must be complied with during
preparation, working with and cleaning the equipment.
4
Protective clothing, gloves and, if necessary, protective skin
cream is required to protect the skin.
4. Warning: When working with the paint spraying
system, both indoors and outdoors, care should
be taken that no solvent vapours are driven to the
motor-operated blower or that no solvent containing
vapours form in the area around the paint spraying
system. Place the motor-operated blower on the
opposite side to the object to be sprayed. When
working outdoors take wind direction into account.
When working in closed places a sufficient ventilation
must be ensured to remove the solvent vapours. The
distance from the motor – operated blower to the
object to be sprayed must be at least 3 m.
5. Warning: The device is not splash proof. It should
not be used, neither outdoors in the rain nor be
sprayed with water nor immersed in liquid. Do
not use the device in damp or wet environments.
6. The units may only be used with a functional valve.
If paints rises in the ventilating hose (Fig. 1, item
4) do not operate the unit further! Dismantle and
clean the ventilating hose, valve and diaphragm and
replace the diaphragm if necessary (see section13.2).
7. Do not lay the

site according
9. The object to be coated must be earthed.
10. Caution against dangers that can arise from
the sprayed substance and observe the text
and information
specifications given by the substance manufacturer.
11. Do not spray any liquid of unknown hazard potential.
12. Before dismounting
relieve pressure
13. Before working on the device, remove the power
plug from the socket.
14. Work or repairs on the electrical equipment should only be
carried out by a professional electrician, even if there are
instructions regarding such work in the operating instructions.
No liability will be accepted for improper installation.
15. Do not sit or stand on the device. Danger of tilting/breaking!
16. Only use parts approved by the manufacturer. The users
