MATERIAL HOSES
The spray jet is under pressure and can cause dangerous injuries.
Avoid injection of paint or cleaning agents:
Never point the spray gun at people.
Never reach into the spray jet.
Before all work on the device, 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 device.
In the event of functional faults: remedy the fault as described in the "Trouble Shooting"
chapter.
The liquid emitters are to be checked for safe working conditions by an expert
(e.g. Wagner Service Technician) as often as necessary or at least every 12 months,
in accordance with the guidelines for liquid emitters (ZH 1/406 and BGR 500 Part 2
Chapter 2.36).
– For shut down devices, the examination can be suspended until the next start-up.
In the event of skin injuries caused by paint or cleaning agents:
Note down the paint or cleaning agent that you have been using.
Consult a doctor immediately.
Avoid danger of injury through recoil forces:
Ensure that you have firm footing when operating the spray gun.
Only hold the spray gun briefl y in a position.
In order to avoid electrostatic charging of the device, the device must be grounded.
Friction, fl owing liquids and air or electrostatic coating processes create charges. Flames
or sparks can form during discharge.
Ensure that the device is grounded for every spraying operation.
Ground the work pieces to be coated.
Ensure that all persons inside the working area are grounded, e.g. that they are wearing
electrostatically conductive shoes.
Wear electrostatically conductive gloves when spraying. The grounding takes place via
the spray gun handle.
Ensure that the hose material is chemically resistant to the sprayed materials.
Ensure that the material hose is suitable for the pressure generated in the device.
Make sure that the hoses are laid only in suitable places. In no case, should hoses be
laid in the following places:
- in high-traffic areas,
- on sharp edges,
- on moving parts or
- on hot surfaces
Make sure that the hoses are never used to pull or move the equipment.
The electrical resistance of the complete high pressure hose must be less than
1 MOhm.
