Safety precautions
• Whencleaningtheunitwithsolvents,thesolventshould
never be sprayed or pumped back into a container with a
small opening (bunghole). An explosive gas/air mixture can
arise. The container must be earthed.
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS
Solvents and other materials can be harmful if
inhaled or come in contact with body. Vapors can
cause severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Wearrespiratoryprotectionwhenspraying.Readall
instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will provide
the necessary protection.
• Alllocalregulationsregardingprotectionagainsthazardous
vapors must be observed.
• Wearprotectiveeyewear.
• Protectiveclothing,glovesandpossiblyskinprotectioncream
are necessary for the protection of the skin. Observe the
regulations of the manufacturer concerning coating materials,
solvents and cleaning agents in preparation, processing and
cleaning units.
HAZARD: BURN HAZARD
Certain components of the equipment are heated
and become hot during operation.
PREVENTION:
• Toavoidsevereburnsandinjury,donottouchheateduidor
equipment. Wait until the equipment has completely cooled.
HAZARD: THERMAL EXPANSION
Heated uids, when in conned areas such as spray
hoses, can create a rapid rise in pressure due to
thermal expansion. Over-pressurization can lead to
a rupture and serious injury.
PREVENTION:
• Duringsystemheating,makesurePRIME/SPRAYvalvesareset
to SPRAY.
• Beforeeachuse,checkallhosesforcuts,leaks,abrasion
or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of
couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these
conditionsexist.Neverrepairasprayhose.Replaceitwith
another earthed high-pressure hose.
HAZARD
: HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
The spray hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking
and abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin.
Inspect the hose before each use.
PREVENTION:
• High-pressurehosesmustbecheckedthoroughlybeforethey
are used.
• Replaceanydamagedhigh-pressurehoseimmediately.
• Neverrepairdefectivehigh-pressurehosesyourself!
• Avoidsharpbendsandfolds:thesmallestbendingradiusis
about 20 cm.
• Donotdriveoverthehigh-pressurehose.Protectagainst
sharp objects and edges.
• Neverpullonthehigh-pressurehosetomovethedevice.
• Donottwistthehigh-pressurehose.
• Useonlycompatiblecleaningsolutions.
• Laythehigh-pressurehoseinsuchawayastoensurethatit
cannot be tripped over.
i
Only use approved original-high-pressure hoses in
order to ensure functionality, safety and durability.
HAZARD: GENERAL
This product can cause severe injury or property
damage.
PREVENTION:
• Followallappropriatelocal,state,andnationalcodes
governing ventilation, re prevention, and operation.
• Pullingthetriggercausesarecoilforcetothehandthatis
holding the spray gun. The recoil force of the spray gun is
particularly powerful when a high pressure has been set on
the airless pump. When cleaning, set the pressure control to
the lowest pressure.
• Useonlymanufacturerauthorizedparts.Userassumesall
risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the
minimum specications and safety devices of the pump
manufacturer.
• ALWAYSfollowthematerialmanufacturer’sinstructionsfor
