7. The connecting cable between the controlling device and the
spray gun must be set up so that it cannot be damaged during
operation. Safety precautions specified by local legislation must
be observed!
8. Only original ITW-Gema spare parts should be used, because
the explosion protection will also be preserved that way. Damage
caused by other parts is not covered by guarantee.
9. If ITW-Gema powder spraying equipment is used in conjunction
with machinery from other manufacturers then their safety
regulations must also be taken into account.

operating elements, as well as with their functions!
Familiarization during operation is too late!
11. Caution must be exercised when working with a powder/air
mixture! A powder/air mixture in the right concentration is
flammable! No smoking during powder coating!
12. As a general rule for all powder spraying installations, persons
with pacemakers should never enter high voltage areas or areas
with electromagnetic fields. Persons with pacemakers should not
enter areas with powder spraying installations!

resulting damages!
