SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR STAFF
Always follow the information in these instructions, particularly the general safety

Always follow local regulations concerning occupational safety and accident
prevention.
The spray jet is under pressure and can cause dangerous injuries.
Avoid injection of paint or fl ushing 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.
- Relieve the pressure from the spray gun and device.
- Secure the spray gun against actuation.
- In the event of functional faults, remedy the fault as described in the "Troubleshooting"
chapter.
If needed, the liquid ejection devices must be checked by experts (e.g., WAGNER service
technician) at least every 12 months to ensure they are safe for work in accordance with
the DGUV regulation 100-500.
- For shut down devices, the examination can be suspended until the next start-up.
Carry out the work steps as described in the "Pressure Relief" chapter:
- If pressure relief is required.
- If the spraying work is interrupted or stopped.
- Before the device is cleaned on the outside, checked or serviced.
- Before the spray nozzle is installed or cleaned.
In the event of skin injuries caused by paint or fl ushing agents:

4.2.2
GROUNDING THE DEVICE
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
static dissipative shoes.
Wear static dissipative gloves when spraying. The grounding takes place via the spray
gun handle.
