WARNING

: When spraying coating materials, dangerous vapours or aerosols, which are

detrimental to your health, are produced. Please read all labels and safety instructions

carefully, and observe all indicated instructions and recommendations. In case of doubt,

please ask the material supplier. Use respiratory protection when spraying. The respiratory

equipment used must be suitable for the material in use and adapted to the degree of the

vapour concentration. When spraying paint, use respiratory equipment independent of the

ambient atmosphere, or equipment with filter combination A1/A2-P2. Ensure a sufficient

protection of your skin during all spraying and cleaning procedures. Wear appropriate

protective clothes and use suitable protective skin ointments.
As part of our ongoing product development, specifications of Silverline products may

of emission

• All integral features or accessories for the collection, extraction or suppression of

airborne dust or fumes should be correctly used and maintained in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions

Safety Instructions for Pneumatic

Tools

Air under pressure can cause severe injury:
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool from air supply

when not in use, before changing accessories or when making repairs

• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses

and fittings

• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins should be

installed and whipcheck safety cables should be used to safeguard against possible

hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection failure

• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool
• Never carry an air tool by the hose

Spray Gun Safety

Dangerous environment

Ensure there is adequate clear space around the work area. Only use spraying tools in a

well-ventilated area or a specialist spray booth. Be aware that air hoses can present a trip

hazard; always lay hoses in a way that minimises hazards.

Protect your eyes

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses.

Protect your hearing

Always wear ear protection.

Protection from vibration

Hand-held air tools may produce vibration and should not be used for long periods without

a break. Vibration can cause disease. Gloves may help to maintain good blood circulation

in the fingers.

Protective equipment

Always wear appropriate protective equipment including but not limited to overalls, gloves,

facemask etc.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that other persons in the vicinity of the work area are

also equipped with the appropriate protective equipment.
Use the correct air hose
Use lightweight hose to connect the tool to the air compressor.
Air should be supplied by a suitable length of 8mm (5/16") diameter air hose fitted with

a female 1/4" NPS connection at gun end. For hose lengths over 15m (50'), use 9.5mm

(3/8") diameter hose.
When spraying, ensure that the gun is connected to a clean, filtered air supply.

Always disconnect

Ensure that your air tool has completely stopped functioning before putting it down.
Disconnect an air tool from the air supply before performing any servicing or refilling
Ensure the air tool is switched OFF before connecting to air supply. Be aware that air tools

may hold residual pressure after use. Always bleed air pressure from the tool after shutting

off air supply.

Do not abuse the tool

Do not increase air pressure above the recommended level; excessive pressure leads to

wear of moving parts, possible failure and may cause the tool casing to split.
Do not attempt to modify air tools. Any attempt to modify this air tool could result in serious

injury to you or others, and will invalidate its warranty.

Use of spray guns

Do not aim a spray gun at people or animals!
When spraying keep away from heat and naked flames!

WARNING

: Solvents and paints are harmful and can even be toxic. Some solvents and

paints are extremely flammable. Handle with care, according to the manufacturer’s

recommendations. Store solvents and paint in sealed, leak proof containers made of a

material that is chemically resistant to the specific solvent. Always wear suitable protective

equipment and dispose of solvents and paints, as well as contaminated items, as special

waste, according to laws and regulations.

WARNING

: Solvents that are chemically based on halogenated hydrocarbon, like
