WARNING:
- Particular attention should be paid to the state of the flexible hoses or of the other parts subject to wear.
- It must also be checked that there are no leaks of oil, mixture or of other dangerous substances.
If such situations occur, the operator must not restart the atomizer before the issue is resolved.
If these facts are observed at the end of the spraying, the operator, before leaving, must affix on the atomizer
a sign indicating that maintenance work is necessary and it is forbidden to use it.
- Do not put your hands or introduce screwdrivers, wrenches or other tools into the moving parts.
- It is forbidden to use flammable fluids for cleaning.
- Periodically check the condition of the stickers and restore them if necessary.
- Operators must avoid carrying out unsafe operations in uncomfortable positions that may compromise their
balance.
- Operators must pay attention to the risks of entrapment and entanglement of clothes and/or of hair in moving
parts. We recommend the use of caps to contain long hair.
- The use of chains, bracelets and rings can also pose a risk.
- The workplace must be adequately illuminated for the required operations. Insufficient or excessive lighting
can cause risks.
- The instructions, accident-prevention regulations and warnings contained in this Manual must always be
respected.
- The machine may be subject to the national requirements (of the country in which it is being used) with regard
to regular checks by the designated bodies.

can cause contamination.
- NEVER enter the Tank or introduce your face into it!
- DO NOT smoke during the preparation and work stages.
- DO NOT eat during the preparation and work stages.
