14. 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. SAGOLA S.A.U. 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 SAGOLA ANTI-STATIC HOSES TO ELIMINATE POSSIBLE
ELECTRICAL SHOCK THAT MAY LEAD TO A RISK OF FIRE OR
EXPLOSION.
