1. Safety regulations
1.1 Explanation of symbols used
This manual contains information that must be read and understood
before using the equipment. When you come to an area that has one
of the following symbols, pay particular attention and make certain
to heed the safeguard.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard that
may cause serious injury or loss of life. Important
safety information will follow.
At
tention
This symbol indicates a potential hazard to you
or to the equipment. Important information that
tells how to prevent damage to the equipment or
how to avoid causes of minor injuries will follow.
Danger of skin injection
Danger of fire from solvent and spray fumes
Danger of explosion from solvent, spray fumes
and incompatible materials
Danger of injury from inhalation of harmful
vapors
Danger of injury from burns
Danger of injury from electric shock
i
Notes give important information which should
be given special attention.
HAZARD: INJECTION INJURY
Attention: Danger of injury by injection! A high
pressure stream produced by this equipment can
pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to
serious injury and possible amputation.
Do not treat a spraying injury as a harmless cut. In
case of injury to the skin through coating materials
or solvents, consult a doctor immediately for quick
and expert treatment. Inform the doctor about the
coating material or solvent used.
PREVENTION:
• NEVERaimthegunatanypartofthebody.
• NEVERallowanypartofthebodytotouchtheuidstream.
DONOTallowbodytotouchaleakintheuidhose.
• NEVERputyourhandinfrontofthegun.Gloveswillnot
provide protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYSlocktheguntrigger,shuttheuidpumpoand
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip guard,
changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be
released by turning o the engine. The PRIME/SPRAY valve(s)
or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate
positions to relieve system pressure.
• Allaccessoriesmustberatedatorabovethemaximum
operating pressure range of the sprayer. This includes guns,
extensions, and hose.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and material fumes can explode or ignite.
Severe injury and/or property damage can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Donotusematerialswithaashpointbelow38°C(100°F).
Flashpoint is the temperature at which a uid can produce
enough vapors to ignite.
• Donotuseamaterialorsolventcontaininghalogenated
hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide,
methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier
about compatibility of material with aluminum.
• Donotusetheunitinworkplaceswhicharecoveredbythe
explosion protection regulations.
• Provideextensiveexhaustandfreshairintroductionto
keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of
ammable vapors.
• Avoidallignitionsourcessuchasstaticelectricitysparks,
electrical appliances, ames, pilot lights, hot objects, and
sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or
working light switches.
• Donotsmokeinsprayarea.
• Placesprayersucientdistancefromthesprayobjectina
well ventilated area. Flammable vapors are often heavier than
air. Floor area must be extremely well ventilated. The pump
contains arcing parts that emit sparks and can ignite vapors.
• Theequipmentandobjectsinandaroundthesprayareamust
be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.
• Useonlyconductiveorearthedhighpressureuidhose.Gun
must be earthed through hose connections.
• Powercordmustbeconnectedtoagroundedcircuit(electric
units only).
• Followmaterialandsolventmanufacturer’swarningsand
instructions.Befamiliarwiththecoatingmaterial’sMSDS
