Safety conscious working
Each person responsible for the assembly, start-up, operation, service
and repair of powder spraying equipment must have read and under-
stood the operating instructions and the "Safety regulations"-chapter. The
operator must ensure that the user has had the appropriate training for
powder spraying equipment and is aware of the possible sources of dan-
ger.
The control units for the spray guns must only be set up and used in zone
22. The spray guns are permitted in the zone 21 created by them.
The powder spraying equipment should only be used by trained and au-
thorized personnel. This applies to modifications to the electrical equip-
ment, which should only be carried out by a specialist.
The operating instructions and the necessary closing down procedures
must be followed before any work is carried out concerning the set-up,
start-up, operation, modification, operating conditions, mode of operation,
servicing, inspection or repairs.
The powder spray equipment can be turned off by using the main switch
or failing that, the emergency shut-down. Individual components can be
turned off during operation by using the appropriate switches.
