MATERIAL HOSES
The spray jet is under pressure and can cause dangerous injuries.
Avoid injection of paint or cleaning agents:
œ
Never point the spray gun at people.
œ
Never reach into the spray jet.
œ
Before all work on the unit, in the event of work interruptions and functional faults:
– Switch off the energy/compressed air supply.
– Secure the spray gun against actuation.
– Relieve the pressure from the spray gun and unit.
– By functional faults: Identify and correct the problem, proceed as described in
chapter „Trouble shooting“.
In the event of skin injuries caused by paint or cleaning agents:
