16. Health and Safety
In order to carry out maintenance, repairs or cleaning, first disconnect the unit from the
network.
Never point the unit towards yourself, others or animals. The thinners and
dilution media used can cause serious injury.
We recommend using this unit in premises with forced ventilation and in accordance with
the current standards and provisions on the matter.
Near the unit, only keep the amount of product and thinner required for the work being done
at that time. After work has been completed, thinners and the product to be applied must be
returned to their corresponding storage location.
Keep the working area clean and free of potentially dangerous waste (thinners, rags, etc...).
While work is in progress, there must not be any source of ignition
(naked flames, lighted cigarettes, etc.) in the working area as these might
generate easily flammable gases. Likewise, the approved protective means
must be used (breathing, hearing, etc.) in accordance with the regulations
established in this regard.
If the unit is used in an inadequate manner or its components are altered in any way
severe material damage may occur and bodily harm may be caused to the operator, other
personnel and/or animals and may even cause death. SAGOLA S.A.U. accepts no responsibility
in for any damage caused through the incorrect use of the unit.
Never exceed the maximum air inlet pressure (10 Bar).
As a general, preventive measure we advise you to wear goggles in accordance
with the specific environmental regulations and characteristics for the work centre.
Wear gloves when handling the product (see the manufacturer's recommendations)
and clean the gun.
If, when the gun is in use, the ambient noise level exceeds 85 dB (A) the use of
approved ear protectors is required.
The unit in itself does not propitiate any mechanical risk of perforations, impact or
pinching, except those deriving from incorrect installations and handling.
While work is in progress, no vibrations are transmitted from the unit to any part of the
body of the operator and reaction forces are minimal.
Use SAGOLA ANTISTATIC HOSES to eliminate possible
electrical discharges that might create the risk of fire or
explosion.
Pay adequate attention when handling the unit in order to prevent any damage that might
lead to dangerous situations for the user or personnel standing near the unit, as a consequence
of leaks, breakages, etc. Do not use it if your mental capacity, perceptions and reactions are
altered due to substances such as alcohol, drugs, medicines, etc., or by tiredness or for any
other reason.
