Grounding
All electricity conducting parts found in the workplace (1 meter around
each booth opening, according to EN 12981), and particularly the objects
to be coated, have to be grounded. The grounding resistance of each
object must amount to maximally 1 MOhm. The resistance must be
tested regularly. The condition of the work piece attachments, as well as
the hangers, must guarantee that the work pieces remain grounded. If
the grounding of the machinery includes the suspension arrangements,
then these must constantly be kept clean in order to guarantee the
necessary conductivity. The appropriate measuring devices must be kept
ready in the workplace, in order to check the grounding.
Compressed air
When there are longer pauses or stand-still times between working, the
powder spraying equipment should be drained of compressed air. There
is a danger of injury when pneumatic hoses are damaged and from the
uncontrolled release and improper use of compressed air.
Crushing and cutting
During operation, moving parts may automatically start to move in the
operating area. It must be ensured that only instructed and trained
personnel go near these parts. The operator should ensure that barriers
comply with the local security regulations.
Access under exceptional circumstances
The operating firm must ensure that local conditions are met when
repairs are made to the electronic parts or when the equipment is
restarted so that there are additional measures such as barriers to
prevent unauthorized access.
Prohibition of unauthorized conversions and
modifications to machines
All unauthorized conversions and modifications to the electrostatic
spraying equipment are forbidden for safety reasons.
The powder spraying equipment should not be used if damaged, the
faulty part must be immediately replaced or repaired. Only original Gema
spare parts should be used! Any warranty claim for damage caused by
the use of foreign parts is void.
Repairs must only be carried out by specialists or by authorized Gema
service centers. Unauthorized conversions and modifications can lead to
injuries and damage to the equipment. The Gema Switzerland GmbH
guarantee would no longer be valid.
Safety requirements for electrostatic powder
coating
1. This equipment is dangerous if the instructions in this operating
manual are not followed.
2. All electrically conductive parts located in the zone 22 and
especially the work pieces must be grounded.
3. The floor of the coating area must conduct electricity (normal
concrete is generally conductive).
