CLEANING
Before starting cleaning or any other manual work, the high-voltage in the spray area
must be shut down and locked to prevent it from being switched back on.
Lock the compressed air supply and decompress the device.
Secure the device against being switched back on without authorization.
Use only electrically conducting and grounded tanks for cleaning fl uids.
Preference should be given to non-fl ammable cleaning fl uids.
Flammable cleaning liquids may only be used if, after switching off the high-voltage,
all high-voltage conducting parts are discharged to a discharge energy of less than
0.24 mJ before they can be accessed.
Most
fl ammable solvents have an ignition energy of around 0.24 mJ or 60 nC.
The cleaning agent's fl ash point must be at least 15 K above the ambient temperature.
Only mobile industrial vacuum cleaners of design 1 (see EN 60335-2) may be used to
remove dust deposits.
When preparing or processing the powder and cleaning the device, take note of the
processing regulations, laid down by the manufacturer of the powder lacquers, being
used.
Take note of the manufacturer’s instructions and the relevant environmental protection
regulations when disposing of powder lacquers.
Take the prescribed safety measures, in particular the wearing of safety glasses and
safety clothing as well as the use of protective hand cream.

To ensure suffi
