③
Avoidance of fire by ignition of paints and solvents
Be sure to turn off electric source of electrostatic controller (E-SC12BH : option) or multi-gun
controller body of multi-gun controller system(E-MC12 : option) before cleaning inside of fluid
passages. As paints and solvents are flammable and have low flash points, they can catch
fire if there is spark discharge in and around painting site.
Spray distance between workpiece and painting equipment must be over 10cm. If the
distance is less than 10cm, spark discharge can occur and paint can catch fire.
Never use lacquer paints. Lacquer paints have low flash points and can catch fire.
Do not cover electrostatic gun with anti-dust sheet. Static electricity accumulated on sheet
can discharge and solvent gas can catch fire.
when painting low resistance paints and metallic paints with electric leak with
electrostatic gun E-M20 series, insulate paints, fluid hose and paint supply unit and install
protective fence around paint supply unit( Regarding protective fence, observe instructions
｢ Protection from high voltage ｣ ) on P. ④ If they are not insulated, paints and solvents can
catch fire by discharge between grounded metals. (Refer to connecting example on page
8 regarding how to insulate).
When painting low resistance paints and metallic paints with electric leak with
electrostatic gun E-M20 series and refilling paint into paint supply unit during painting, be
sure to turn off electric source of electrostatic controller E-SC12BH(option)
or multi-gun
controller body of multi-gun controller system(E-MC12 : option)
. If you try to refill paint when
high voltage is charged, paint can catch fire.
When painting low resistance paints and metallic paints with electrostatic gun E-M20
series and using more than 2 guns at the same site, separate individual paint supply unit. If
you try to use 2 guns with one set of paint supply unit and charge one gun only, the other
gun, which is not charged, can be charged through paint. Then, paint and solvent can catch
fire.
