…
NEVER
touch the charging electrode at the tip of the
gun with your bar
e hands when the machine is ‘ON’. If
required to handle the electrodes, always earth
(ground) the electrode first to dissipate any electrostatic
charge build-up that may have taken place.
NEVER
aim the gun away from an earthed object or
point when you trigger it ON
NEVER
inhale the powder that is sprayed. If the
powder recovery system is not efficient to suck away all
oversprayed (excess sprayed) powder, either get that
handled or at least ensure that an appropriate air-filter
is made available for the coater to breath in clean air.
NEVER
use any kind of solvents to clean any gun or its
parts.
NEVER
expose this machine to water or rain
NEVER
open the gun. There are no user-serviceable
or field-serviceable parts inside the gun.
A
VOID
…
AVOID
extended triggering of the gun without
compressed air. Compressed air flow assists in
dissipation of charge from near the gun tip as well as
keeps the electronics inside the gun at an optimum
operating temperature. Continued triggering without
compressed air may lead to an electronic failure of the
gun
AVOID
using locally produced replacement parts
– this
may prove to be cheaper in the short term but may
permanently damage the gun and force higher
expenditure later
AVOID
using the equipment in damp or wet areas
