SAFETY INFORMATION ON DISCHARGES
The plastic parts of the spray gun are charged electrostatically by the high-voltage fi eld of
the spray gun. In case of c ontact with plastic parts harmless discharges (brush discharges)
may occur. They are completely non-hazardous for human health.
When keeping a distance of 4 to 10 mm; 0.15 to 0.4 inch between spray gun and object to
be sprayed, the corona discharge at the end of the electrode is visible in the dark.
Surface spraying of the control unit
Never spray device parts using electrostatic equipment (electrostatic spray gun!).
Cleaning the control unit
If there are deposits on the surfaces, the device may form electrostatic charges. Flames or
sparks can form during discharge.
Remove deposits from the surfaces to maintain conductivity.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the device.
