INTENDED USE
1. The MS Topcoat A4 Automatic powder gun is exclusively
for use in powder coating. It has been developed
according to recognized safety regulations for use in
potentially explosive atmospheres according to directive
RL 2014/34/EU.
2. Any other use is considered improper. The manufacturer
is not liable for any resulting damage. The risk lies by

gun or its operating conditions are altered, or materials
differing from the manufacturer’s specifications are to be
used, the written consent of Carlisle MS Powder must
be obtained.
3. Intended use also includes compliance with the
manufacturer's operating, maintenance and service
instructions. The MS Topcoat A4 automatic powder gun
may be used, maintained and repaired only by persons
who are trained on the equipment and its dangers..
4. Commissioning (this means the starting of operation as
directed) is prohibited until it is determined that the MS
Topcoat A4 automatic powder gun is installed and wired
in accordance with the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC).
Also to note is the EN 60204-1 (Safety of machinery).
5. Unauthorized modifications to the MS Topcoat automatic
powder gun exclude the manufacturer from any liability.
6. The relevant accident prevention regulations and other
generally recognized safety, occupational health and
structural regulations must be observed.
7. Any country-specific safety regulations must also be
considered and observed.

Safety Regulations for Electrostatic
Powder Coating
The legislator describes (ZH 1/443, section 6.1):
1. All electrostatic conductive parts, which are located
within a distance of 5m from the powder spray gun
and the work pieces must be grounded.
2. The floor of the coating area must be electrostatically
conductive (normal cement is generally conductive).
(Measurement according to EN1081)
3. The operator must wear anti-static footwear, for
example, leather soles. (According to EN 344-1 shoes).
4. The supplied grounding cable (green / yellow) must be
connected to the grounding screw of the electrostatic
automatic powder coating equipment. The grounding
cable must have good metallic connection with the
coating enclosure, the recovery unit and the conveyor
chain respectively. Any suspended objects must be
connected to the earth ground of the building.
5. The voltage and powder feed lines to the powder guns
must be protected against mechanical, thermal and
chemical damage.

This equipment can be dangerous if it is not
operated according to the information in this manual!
In addition, the country-specific safety regulations for
fire protection must be observed.
Persons with pacemakers should not remain in
the area of powder spraying. Strong high voltage and
electromagnetic fields can arise in these areas.
The operator must ensure that the manual pow-
der coating equipment and accessories are tested as
required, this should be done at least annually by an
expert on safe working condition.
