Spray tip safety systems
Every precaution must be taken during cleaning or replacing spray tips. If the srpay tip becomes
clogged when spraying, immediately place the trigger lock. ALWAYS follow the decompression
procedure and then remove the spray tip to clean it.
NEVER remove the product remaining on or around the spray tip until the pressure has been
eliminated and the safety catch is in place.
14.2. Hose safety
The product circulating at high pressure in the hoses is potentially very dangerous. In the event of
a leak or burst in the hose due to wear of any kind, damage or improper use, the high pressure jet
issuing from the hose may cause the product to be injected or any other severe body injury as well
as damage to materials.
ALL PRODUCT HOSES MUST BE FITTED WITH PROTECTION SPRINGS AT BOTH ENDS. Protection
springs help to avoid the hoses from becoming constricted or twisting near the join, which would
cause them to burst.
ADJUST as tightly as possible all connections through which product will circulate. Products under
high pressure can disengage loose connections or allow the product to issue from the loose
connection under pressure.
NEVER use a damaged hose. Before each use, check the entire length of the hose for leaks,
scrapes, raised portions on the outer coating, damage or loose connections. If any of these are
detected, replace the hose immediately. DO NOT attempt to use the high pressure hose or repair it
with adhesive tape or any other element.
HANDLE AND ARRANGE THE HOSES WITH CARE. Do not pull the hose to move the equipment.
Keep the hose away from moving parts and surfaces of the pump and motor which may be hot. Do
not use products or solvents which are incompatible with the inner finish or outer coating of the
hose. DO NOT EXPOSE Sagola hoses to temperatures in excess of 82°C or below -40°C.
Electrical continuity of the hose
The maintenance of adequate electrical continuity in the hose is essential to ensure the uninte-
rrupted grounding of the spraying system. Check the electrical resistance of your product hoses at
least once a week. Use a resistance gauge of suitable characteristics for your hose for measuring
the resistance. If the resistance should exceed the recommended limits, replace it immediately. A
hose which is not grounded or is incorrectly fitted may cause the system to be dangerous. See also
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
14.3. Risk of fire or explosion
Application using a spray gun, washing, or cleaning equipment by means of inflammable liquids in
spaces containing a continuous atmosphere may cause fire or explosions.
These tasks must be performed out of doors or in extremely well-ventilated interiors. All equipment
used must be grounded, including hoses, containers and objects to be painted.
Avoid any potential source of ignition, such as the electrostatic charge of a plastic awning, naked
flames in pilot lights, heat points (lighted cigarettes), electric arcs produced by connections or
disconnecting the power supply cables or switching the lights on or off.
Failure to observe this warning may cause severe injuries and possible loss of life.
The passage of product at high speeds through the pump and the hoses may cause sparks. These
sparks can set fire to the solvent vapours and to the product being applied, to the powder particles
and other inflammable substances, whether application takes place indoors or outdoors, and
there is a risk of fire or explosion as well as of serious injury and material damage.
