13. Health and Safety
In order to perform maintenance, repairs or cleaning, first disconnect the unit from the compressed
air supply, after having correctly carried out the DEPRESSURISATION procedure described in Section
10 of the Manual.
Never point the unit towards yourself, others or animals. The thinners and dilution
media used can cause serious injury.
With this equipment the product is sprayed at low pressure. If the product is sprayed or splashed in
the eyes it can cause serious injury.
Never attempt to stop the application stream or a leak with your hand or any other part of your
body. If you feel that you may have been sprayed with the product on your skin, IMMEDIATELY SEEK
MEDICAL CARE. This incident must not be treated as a simple cut. Describe the product with which it
occurred to the Physician with as much detail as possible.
The premises where work is carried out must have sufficient ventilation in accordance with current
legislation and regulations. Near the unit, only keep the amount of product and solvent required for
the job being done at that time. After the job has been completed, the surplus solvents and product
to be applied must be returned to their specific storage location. Keep the working area clean and
free of potentially dangerous waste (solvents, rags, etc.).
While work is in progress, there must not be any source of ignition (naked
flames, lighted cigarettes, etc.) in the working area as these might generate
easily flammable gases. Likewise, the approved protective means must be used
(breathing, hearing, etc.) in accordance with the regulations established in this
regard.
If the unit is used in an inadequate manner or its components are altered in any way severe material
damage may occur and bodily harm may be caused to the operator, other personnel and/or animals
and may even cause death. ELCOMETER Ltd. accepts no responsibility in for any damage caused
through the incorrect use of the equipment.
Pinch point hazard. Moving parts can crush and cut. Pinch points are
any areas where there are moving parts.
Always use approved breathing units in accordance with current Standards and
Regulations in order to protect yourself from emissions produced during application.
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure. The equipment units are calibrated by the
manufacturer in accordance with the design performance features described in their technical
specifications.
As a general, preventive measure we advise you to wear goggles in accordance with the
specific environmental regulations and characteristics for the work centre.
Wear gloves when handling the product (see the manufacturer's recommendations) and
clean the gun.
If, when the gun is in use, the ambient noise level exceeds 85 dB (A) the use of approved
ear protectors is required.
The unit in itself does not propitiate any mechanical risk of perforations, impact or pinching, except
those deriving from incorrect installations and handling.
USE ELCOMETER ANTI-STATIC HOSES TO ELIMINATE POSSIBLE
ELECTRICAL SHOCK THAT MAY LEAD TO A RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
