▪ Be attentive! Pay attention to what you are doing. Approach your work with
circumspection.
▪ Do not use the air tools when your reactivity is affected by alcohol consumption,
medication, drugs, illness or tiredness. One moment of abstraction operating the unit can
cause grave injuries.
▪ Keep your work area clean. Disorder can cause accidents.
▪ Take care of adequate lighting.
▪ Do not open the units and do not try to repair them yourself. Contact a professional or our
customer service. Only use original replacement parts.
Safety Notes for Gravity Spray Gun
▪
Only use the air spray gun in sufficiently ventilated rooms.
▪
Always wear personal safety equipment when using the spray gun. Toxic fumes and
certain materials can be poisonous. Those materials may create irritation or be otherwise
harmful to health. Follow the recommendations shown on the signs or written on the data
sheets. Always wear a respiratory protection. The safety class of the system has to be in
accordance with the processed materials. Always wear safety gloves when processing
varnish or when cleaning the unit. We suggest wearing ear and eye protection when
operating the spray gun.
▪
Do not spray any material if you do not know whether it is potentially dangerous.
Unknown materials could cause danger-ous conditions.
▪
Keep your hands and other body parts out of the spray jet. If the spray jet pierces the
skin, seek medical assistance immediately. The sprayed material can even penetrate
through a glove and into the skin and thus into your body.
▪
Do not treat such a penetration injury like a normal cut. A high-pressure jet can inject
toxic materials into the body and cause serious injuries. In the event of a chemical
penetration of the skin, seek medical assistance immediately.
▪
Please keep in mind that the spray gun causes strong vibrations which can lead to
repetitive strain injuries in some cases. Keep sufficient rests.
▪
Keep your working area tidy. Only take as much paint and thinner to your working area
as required for completing the job. Do not keep paint and thinners in open containers; store
them in a safe place which is not easily accessible to others.
▪
During painting no ignition source (e.g. open flames, lid ciga-rettes, lamps not
protected against explosion etc.) may be pre-sent, because during painting explosive gases
may be formed.
▪
Solvents and coating materials can be easily inflammable or combustible if they are
spilled or sprayed. Always follow the warnings and safety information of the paint or
solvent manufac-turers.
▪ With daily use, clean the air spray gun preferably with a washing device for spray
equipment. Do not let the spray gun for a long time in the washing machine.
▪ Do not use solvents or cleaning fluids based on halogenated hydrocarbons, such as 1.1.1-
Trichlorethane and Methylenechlo-ride, chemical reactions can occur on the gun as well as
on galvanized parts (1.1.1-Trichlorethane with small quantities of water reacts to
hydrochloric acid). Thus the parts may oxidate; in the worst case the reaction cause an
explosion.
▪
When working with potentially explosive material, keep in mind that static charges
