For your own safety, only use accessories and attachments listed in the
operating instructions. The use of other parts can lead to risk of injury.
Only original ITW Gema spare parts should be used!
Repairs must only be carried out by specialists or by authorized ITW
Gema service centers. Unauthorized conversions and modifications can
lead to injuries and damage to the equipment and invalidate the ITW
Gema GmbH guarantee.
The connecting cables between the control unit and the spray gun must
be installed so as to eliminate the possibility of damage during the
operation. Please observe the local safety regulations!
The plug connections between the powder spraying equipment and the
mains should only be removed when the power supply is switched off.
All maintenance activities must take place when the powder spraying
equipment is switched off.
The powder coating equipment may not be switched on until the booth is
in operation. If the booth stops, the powder coating device must switch off
too.
The control units for the spray guns must be installed and used in zone
22. Spray guns are allowed in zone 21.
Only original ITW Gema OEM parts are guaranteed to maintain the
explosion protection rating. If damages occur related to the use of spare
parts from other manufacturers, all relevant warranty or compensation
claims are void!
Conditions leading to dangerous levels of dust concentration in the
powder spraying booths or in the powder spraying areas must be
avoided. There must be sufficient technical ventilation available, to
prevent a dust concentration of greater than 50% of the lower explosion
limit (UEG = max. permissible powder/air concentration). If the UEG is
not known, then a value of 10 g/m³ should be considered (see EN
50177).
All unauthorized conversions and modifications to the electrostatic
spraying equipment are forbidden for safety reasons.
The safety devices may not be dismantled or put out of operation.
Mandatory operational and workplace notices from the operating
company must be written in a comprehensible manner in the language of
