This equipment is for PROFESSIONAL use only. USE AND MAINTENANCE must be carried out by qualified staff WHO
HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD the IMPORTANT information relating to the SAFETY OF PERSONNEL AND
EQUIPMENT described in this manual and in the different parts of the system.
GENERAL SAFETY
With this equipment, products are treated at very high pressures.
The jet sprayed from the gun, through leaks or from the breakage
of any component may cause the product to be injected through
one' s skin at high pressure, causing deep wounds which may involve
amputation. Likewise, the spraying or splashing of products into
one' s eyes may cause severe harm.
NEVER aim the gun toward a person or toward oneself.
NEVER insert hands or fingers in the tip.
NEVER attempt to remove the gun during rinsing, this is NOT a
pneumatic system.
ALWAYS follow the decompression procedure described below
before cleaning or removing the tip or carrying out maintenance
works on any part of the equipment.
NEVER attempt to block the jet or a leak with the hand or any other
part of the body.
Ensure the safety devices of the equipment function correctly before
each use.
Make sure the gun safety devices are in correct working order before
using it for any purpose. Do not remove or modify any part of the
equipment, this may lead to malfunction and risk of physical injuries.
CONTACT MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IN CASE OF INJURIES FROM
AIRLESS SPRAYING
If you have suffered exposure to product sprayed onto the skin, CALL
IMMEDIATELY FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. DO NOT TREAT IT
LIKE AN ORDINARY CUT. Tell the doctor exactly which product was
being sprayed.
Note to the medical staff: the injection of products through the skin
is a traumatic injury. It is important that the wound is treated as soon
as possible. Do not delay treatment while investigating toxicity.
Certain toxic products are particularly dangerous when injected
directly into the blood stream.
SAFETY SYSTEMS IN THE SPRAY GUN
Make sure the safety systems in the spray gun are in correct working
order before use. Do not remove or modify any component of the
gun; doing so may result in malfunction and cause severe physical
injuries.
Trigger safety catch
When spraying is interrupted, even if only for a moment, always use
the trigger safety catch so that the trigger is immobilised. Failure to
do this may result in the trigger being operated accidentally, mainly
when the gun is dropped to the floor.
The gun diffuser interrupts the jet and reduces the risk of injection
when the cap is not in place. To check the operation of the diffuser,
follow the decompression procedure and then remove the tip.Adjust
the pump pressure to the lowest setting.
Aim the gun toward a metal bucket which is properly grounded.
RISK OF INJECTION OF FLUIDS

SAFETY ADVICE
WARNING
Remove the gun safety catch and press the trigger. The jet should
be unstable and swirling. If the jet is even, replace the diffuser
immediately.
ALWAYS keep the tip protector in its place on the gun whilst spraying.
The protector gives warning of the risk of products being injected
onto the skin and assists in reducing this danger, but it does not
eliminate the risk of fingers or any part of the body from being placed
too near the spraying tip.
ALWAYS keep the trigger protector in place on the spray gun while
this is in use in order to reduce the risk of accidental operation of
the gun if it is dropped or knocked.
Every precaution must be taken during cleaning or replacing spray
tips.
NEVER remove the product remaining on or around the spray tip
until the pressure has been eliminated and the safety catch is in
place.
With the aim of reducing the risk of severe bodily injury, including
the injection of products or injuries caused by moving parts of the
equipment or electric shock, the procedure described below must
be followed as soon as the system is halted, during assembly,
cleaning or changing the tip and also when spraying is interrupted.
Set the gun safety catch.
1
Turn the pressure regulator (electrical machines) for the
2
equipment to the minimum setting (anticlockwise). In pneumatic
units, close the air stop cock to the pump and then operate the
air inlet pressure regulator to the pump until it is set to minimum
(turn anticlockwise).
3
Remove the spray gun safety catch. Holding a metallic part of
the spray gun (trigger guard) to the side of a correctly-grounded
bucket, press the trigger to drain the product (aim the jet toward
the side of the bucket).
Set the gun safety catch.
4
Set the motor switch to the position "O" (off).
5
Disconnect the power supply cable (electric models).
6
Open the drain valve after placing a container nearby in which
7
to collect the product. Leave the valve open until required for
spraying.
If you have reason to believe the tip or the hose is completely clogged,
or that the pressure has not been totally eliminated after having
followed the procedure described above, loosen the hose connector
VERY GENTLY in order to reduce the pressure gradually, and finally
remove it altogether. Clean the tip or the hose immediately.
