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
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.
If sparks are caused by static electricity or if the slightest discharge
is felt, STOP DISTRIBUTION IMMEDIATELY. Stop the system until
the problem has been identified and corrected.
In order to prevent the risk of static electricity, the equipment must
be grounded in accordance with the paragraph "Grounding" .
Grounding
To avoid risks deriving from static electricity, ground the spray gun
and all spraying equipment being used or which are in the spraying
area. CHECK the characteristics of the local electrical supply for
detailed grounding instructions, corresponding to the area and the
type of equipment used.
CHECK the grounding of all the spraying equipment.
Moving parts are liable to injure or amputate fingers or other parts
of the body. Keep away from moving parts at start-up or when using
a pump. Before checking or servicing the pump, follow the
HOSE SAFETY
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 DELON hoses to
temperatures in excess of 82°C or below -40°C.
The maintenance of adequate electrical continuity in the hose is
essential to ensure the uninterrupted 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.

Safety during spraying
Reduce the risk of product injection, static electricity sparks or
splashes, by following the spraying procedure described below.

Electrical continuity of the hose
Electrical equipment: plug to a correctly-grounded current
outlet. The extension cables must be of 3 wires and sized
correctly for the consumption of the equipment.
Pneumatic equipment: Ground correctly.
Product hoses: only hoses with an extension not exceeding
50m. may be used, in order to ensure continuity of the grounding
device. See Electrical Continuity of the Hose.
Spray gun: grounding is made through a connection to a product
hose or a correctly grounded spray gun.
Item to be painted. In accordance with the applicable legislation
in force.
Product container: In accordance with the applicable legislation
in force.
All containers of solvents used in spraying, in accordance with
the applicable legislation currently in force. Use only containers
which are metallic and electrical conductors. Do not place these
containers on non-conductor surfaces such as paper or
cardboard which interrupt the continuity of the grounding of
the element.
To maintain grounding continuity during cleaning or
decompression, always keep a metallic part of the spray gun
(hand protector) firmly pressed to the side of the container which
is placed on the floor, and then operate the gun
