4. The operating personnel must wear electrically conductive
footwear (e.g. leather soles).
5. The operating personnel should hold the gun with bare hands. If
gloves are worn, these must also conduct electricity.
6. The supplied grounding cable (green/yellow) must be connected
to the grounding screw of the electrostatic manual powder
coating equipment. The grounding cable must have a good
metallic connection with the coating booth, the recovery unit and
the conveyor chain, respectively with the suspension
arrangement of the objects.
7. The electricity and powder supply to the hand guns must be set
up so that they are fully protected against heat and chemical
damage.
8. The powder coating equipment may not be switched on until the
booth is in operation. If the booth stops, the powder coating
device must switch off too.
9. The grounding of all electrically conductive devices (e.g. hooks,
chain conveyor etc.) must be checked on a weekly basis. The
grounding resistance must amount to maximally 1 MOhm.
10. The control device must be switched off if the hand gun is
cleaned or the nozzle is changed.
11. When working with cleaning agents there may be a risk of
hazardous fumes. The manufacturer's instructions must be
observed when using such cleaning agents.
12. The manufacturer's instructions and the applicable environmental
requirements must be observed when disposing of powder
lacquer and cleaning agents.
13. If any part of the spray gun is damaged (broken parts, fractures)
or missing, then it should not be used.
14. For your own safety, only use accessories and attachments listed
in the operating instructions. The use of other parts can lead to
risk of injury. Only original Gema spare parts should be used!
15. Repairs must only be carried out by specialists and under no
circumstances should they be carried out in the operating area.
The former protection must not be reduced.
16. Conditions leading to dangerous levels of dust concentration in
the powder spraying booths or in the powder spraying areas
must be avoided. There must be sufficient technical ventilation
available, to prevent a dust concentration of greater than 50% of
the lower explosion limit (UEG = max. permissible powder/air
concentration). If the UEG is not known, then a value of 10 g/m³
should be considered.
