SaFety regulatIonS For
aIrleSS SprayIng
All local regulations in force must be observed.
For secure handling of Airless high-pressure spraying
units the following safety regulations are to be observed:
•
Flash point
only use coating materials with a flash point of
21 °c or above without additional heating.
the flash point is the lowest temperature
at which vapours develop from the coating
Danger
material.
these vapours are sufficient to form an inflam-
mable mixture over the air above the coating material.
•
explosion protection
Do not use the unit in work places which are
covered to the explosion protection regula-
tions.
Danger
•
danger of explosion and fire through sources of
flame during spraying work
there may be no sources of flame such as, for
example, open fires, smoking of cigarettes, ci-
gars or tobacco pipes, sparks, glowing wires,
hot surfaces, etc. in the vicinity.
Danger
•
Danger of injury through the spray jet
Danger
caution! danger of injury through injection!
never point the spray gun at yourself, other persons or
animals.
never use the spray gun without spray jet safety guard.
the spray jet may not come into contact with any part of
the body.
In working with airless spray guns, the high spray pres-
sures arising can cause very dangerous injuries.
If contact is made with the spray jet, coating material can
be injected into the skin. Do not treat a spray injury as
a harmless cut. In the case of injury to the skin through
coating material or solvents, consult a doctor for quick
and correct treatment. Inform the doctor about the coat-
ing material or solvent used.
•
Secure spray gun against unintended
operation
Always secure the spray gun when mounting or dis-
mounting the tip and in case of interruption to work.
26
GB
•
recoil of spray gun
In case of high operating pressure, pulling the trig-
ger guard can effect a recoil force of up to 15 N.
If you are not prepared for this, your hand can be
thrust backwards or your balance lost. This can
Danger
lead to injury.
•
respiratory protection for protection against
vapours of solvents
Wear respiratory protection when spraying.
The user must be provided with a breathing mask.
•
prevention of occupational illnesses
Protective clothing, gloves and possibly skin protection cream
are necessary for the protection of the skin.
Observe the regulations of the manufacturer concerning coat-
ing materials, solvents and cleaning agents in preparation,
processing and cleaning units.
•
max. operating pressure
max. permissible operating pressure for spray gun, spray
gun accessories and high-pressure hose may not fall short
of the maximum operating pressure of 250 bar (25 mpa)
stated on the unit.
•
High-pressure hose (safety note)
Electrostatic charging of spray guns and the high-pressure
hose is discharged through the high-pressure hose.
For this reason the electric resistance between the connec-
tions of the high-pressure hose must be equal or
lower than 1 MΩ.
For reasons of function, safety and durability
i
use only original wagner high-pressure
hoses.
•
electrostatic charging (formation of sparks or
flame)
Under certain circumstances, electrostatic charg-
ing can occur on the unit due to the rate of flow of
the coating material when spraying. On discharg-
ing this can result in the emergence of sparks or
Danger
fire. It is therefore necessary that the unit is always
earthed through the electrical installation. The connection
must take place through a correctly earthed two-pole-and-
earth socket outlet.
•
using unit on construction sites
connection to the mains only through a special feed
point, e.g. through an error protection installation with
InF ≤ 30 ma.
•
loading the socket at the unit
do not load the socket with more than 1000 watt. unroll
any connected cable drum completely.
