General Safety instructions

► All applicable accident prevention rules and regulations as well as other recog-
nised industrial safety and health rules and regulations must be observed at all
times.
► Use the spray gun only in well-ventilated rooms. Fire, naked flames and smo-
king are strictly prohibited within the working area. WARNING – during the
spraying of flammable materials (e.g. lacquers, adhesives, cleaning agents,
etc.), there is an increased risk to health as well as an increased risk of explosi-
on and fire.
► You must ensure that the spray gun is properly earthed (grounded) either sepa-
rately or in connection with the equipment with which it is being used (max.
resistance 10 Ω).

► Before carrying out maintenance or servicing work, always ensure that the air
and material feed to the spray gun have been de-pressurised. Risk of injury!
► When spraying materials, do not place your hands or other parts of the body in
front of the pressurised nozzle or the spray gun.
Risk of injury!
► Never point the spray gun at persons or animals. Risk of injury!
► Always observe the spraying and safety instructions given by the manufacturers
of the spraying material and the cleaning agent. Aggressive and corrosive mate-
rials in particular can be harmful to health.
► Always wear hearing protection when using the gun or when in the vicinity of a
gun that is in use. The noise level generated by the spray gun is approx. 86
dB(A).
► Exhaust air containing particles (overspray) must be kept away from the working
area and personnel. In spite of these measures, always wear the regulation
breathing masks and protective overalls when using the gun. Airborne particles
represent a serious health hazard!
► After carrying out assembly or maintenance work, always ensure that all nuts,
bolts and screw connections have been fully tightened before the gun is used.
► Use only original replacement parts, since WALTHER can only guarantee safe
and fault-free operation for original parts.

a hose clamp.
Design: Gravity-feed cup
1. Fasten the compressed air hose to the air con-
nection (N 10) of the spray gun.
o
2. Fill the gravity-feed cup with the material to be
sprayed. Close the cup.
3. Switch on the pneumatic system.
The spray gun can be taken into operation.
Design: Material connection
1. Fasten the compressed air hose to the air con-
nection (N 10) of the spray gun.
o
2. Fasten the material supply hose to the material
connection (N 9) of the spray gun.
o
3. To allow the air in the material hose to escape,
operate the trigger, until a uniform material
spray exits the nozzle; the gun can now be
closed again.
The gun is now ready to be operated.

The following requirements must have been met before you can operate the spray
gun:
• The spray air pressure must be applied at the spray gun.
• The material pressure must be applied at the spray gun.
