SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR
AIRLESS SPRAYING
All local safety regulations in force must be observed.
The following sources are just a sample of those containing
safety requirements for Airless spraying.
a) The European Standard „Spray equipment for coating ma-
terials – safety regulations „ (EN 1953).
The following safety regulations are to be observed in order
to ensure safe handling of the Airless high-pressure spraying
unit.
1.1

FLASH POINT

Only spray coating materials with a flash point
of 21 °C or higher.
The flash point is the lowest temperature at
which vapors develop from the coating ma-
terial. These vapors are sufficient to form an
inflammable mixture over the air above the
coating material.
1.2

EXPLOSION PROTECTION

Do not use the unit in work places which are
covered by the explosion protection regula-
tions. The unit is not designed to be explo-
sion protected. Do not operate the device in
explosive areas (zone 0, 1 and 2). Explosive ar-
eas are, for example, places where paints are
stored and locations in direct proximity to the
object being sprayed. Keep the device at least
3 m from the object you are spraying.
1.3
DANGER OF EXPLOSION AND FIRE FROM
SOURCES OF IGNITION DURING SPRAYING
WORK
There must be no sources of ignition such as,
for example, open fires, lit cigarettes, cigars or
tobacco pipes, sparks, glowing wires, hot sur-
faces, etc. in the vicinity.

1.4

DANGER OF INJURY FROM THE SPRAY JET

Attention, danger of injury by injection!
Never point the spray gun at yourself, other
persons or animals.
Never use the spray gun without spray jet
safety guard.
The spray jet must not come into contact
with any part of the body.
In working with Airless spray guns, the high
spray pressures arising can cause very dan-
gerous injuries. If contact is made with the
spray jet, coating material can be injected
into the skin. Do not treat a spray injury as a
harmless cut. In case of injury to the skin by
coating material or solvents, consult a doctor
for quick and correct treatment. Inform the
doctor about the coating material or solvent
used.
1.5
SECURE SPRAY GUN AGAINST UNINTENDED
OPERATION
Always secure the spray gun when mounting or dismounting
the tip and in case of interruption to work.
1.6

RECOIL OF SPRAY GUN

When using a high operating pressure, pull-
ing the trigger guard can effect a recoil force
up to 15 N.
If you are not prepared for this, your hand can
be thrust backwards or your balance lost. This
can lead to injury.
1.7
BREATHING EQUIPMENT AS PROTECTION
AGAINST SOLVENT VAPORS
Wear breathing equipment during spraying work.
A breathing mask is to be made available to the user.
1.8

PREVENTION OF OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESSES

Protective clothing, gloves and possibly skin protection cream
are necessary for the protection of the skin.
Observe the regulations of the manufacturer concerning coat-
ing materials, solvents and cleaning agents in preparation,
processing and cleaning units.
