Safety Regulations For Airless Spraying - WAGNER EP 2800 Spacspray Mode D'emploi

Safety regulations for Airless spraying

All local regulations in force must be observed.
In order to ensure safe operation of the Airless systems
the safety regulations listed below must be followed:
1. In order to avoid dangers, read the operating
instructions carefully and follow the instructions laid
down in them.
2. Only coating materials with a flash point of 21 °C
or above may be used, without additional
heating.
3. The use of this unit is prohibited in workshops
which are covered under the explosion
prevention regulations.
4. Never spray near sources of ignition; e.g. open
flames, cigarettes – also cigars and pipes are
sources of ignition –, sparks, hot wires and hot
surfaces, etc.
5. Attention! Danger of injury by injection!
Never point the spray gun at yourself, other peo-
ple or animals.
Never put your fingers or hands into the spray
jet. The very high spraying pressures can cause
very serious injuries. Never use the spray gun
without the safety guard.
When installing and removing the tip and during
breaks in work the spray gun must always be
secured, so that it cannot be activated.
6. Wear respiratory equipment when spraying. The
operator must be provided with a protective mask.
In order to prevent work related illness, the manu-
facturer's regulations for the materials, solvents, and
cleaning agents used must be observed when pre-
paring, working with and cleaning the unit. Protective
clothing, gloves and, in certain cases, protective skin
cream are necessary to protect the skin.
7. The spray gun and high pressure hose between
unit and spray gun must be of a sufficient
standard for the pressure produced in the unit.
The permissible operating pressure for the high-
pressure hose, the manufacturer and date of
manufacture must be indicated by a permanent
identification marking on the hose. Furthermore, it
must be constructed so that the electrical resistance
between the connections to the unit and the spray
gun is equal to or less than one megaohm.
8. Under certain conditions the flow speed can cause
an electrostatic charge on the unit. This could cause
sparks or flames on discharging. It is, therefore,
important that the unit is always earthed over the
GB
electrical installation. The contact should be made
using a shockproof socket earthed in accordance with
the regulations.
9. Attention!
Please observe the following when working inside
and outside:
No solvent gasses should be carried to the unit.
No solvent gasses should form near the unit.
Set up the unit on the opposite side to the object
being sprayed. When spraying outdoors take the
wind direction into account. When working
indoors there must be sufficient ventilation to
ensure that the solvent gasses are carried away.
A minimum distance of 3 m must be observed
between the unit and object being sprayed.
10. Extraction equipment should be installed by the user
in accordance with the local regulations.
11. The objects being sprayed must be earthed.
12. When cleaning the unit, solvent should never be
sprayed into a container with only a small opening
(bunghole). A explosive gas/air mixture is likely to
form. The container must be earthed.
13. Cleaning the unit
A harsh jet should never be used to spray the unit. In
particular a high-pressure or high-pressure steam
cleaner should never be used. There is a danger that
water will penetrate into the unit and cause a short-
circuit.
14. The mains plug should always be disconnected
from the socket when work is being carried out on
the electrical components.
15. Work or repairs should only be carried out on electri-
cal equipment by a trained electrician, even if the work
is described in the operating instructions. No liability
will be accepted for incorrectly installed electrics.
16. Positioning when the ground is uneven
The front of the unit must point downwards so that the
machine does not slip away.
