Safety regulations
1. Safety regulations for Airless
spraying
All local regulations in force must be observed.
For secure handling of Airless high-pressure spraying
units the following safety regulations are to be ob-
served:
b
Flash point
Only use coating materials with a flash
point of 21 °C or above without additional
heating.
The flash point is the lowest temperature
at which vapours develop from the coat-
Danger
ing material.
These vapours are sufficient to form an inflammable
mixture over the air above the coating material.
b
Explosion protection
Do not use the unit in work places which
are covered to the explosion protection
regulations.
Danger
b
Danger of explosion and fire through
sources of flame during spraying
work
There may be no sources of flame such as,
for example, open fires, smoking of ciga-
rettes, cigars or tobacco pipes, sparks,
glowing wires, hot surfaces, etc. in the vici-
Danger
nity.
b
Danger of injury through the spray jet
Danger
Caution! Danger of injury through 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 may not come into contact with any
part of the body.
In working with Airless spray guns, the high spray
pressures arising can cause very dangerous injuries.
If contact is made with the spray jet, coating material
can be injected into the skin. Do not treat a spray in-
jury as a harmless cut. In the case of injury to the
skin through coating material or solvents, consult a
doctor for quick and correct treatment. Inform the
doctor about the coating material or solvent used.
b
Secure spray gun against
unintended operation
Always secure the spray gun when mounting or dis-
mounting the tip and in case of interruption to work.
b
Recoil of spray gun
In case of high operating pressure, pulling
the trigger guard can effect a recoil force of
up to 15 N.
If you are not prepared for this, your hand
Danger
can be thrust backwards or your balance
lost. This can lead to injury.
b
Respiratory protection for protec-
tion against vapours of solvents
Wear respiratory protection when spraying.
The user must be provided with a breathing mask.
b
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
coating materials, solvents and cleaning agents in prepa-
ration, processing and cleaning units.
b
Max. operating pressure
The permissible operating pressure for spray gun,
spray gun accessories and high-pressure hose may
not fall short of the maximum operating pressure of
250 bar (25 MPa) stated on the unit.
b
High-pressure hose (safety note)
Electrostatic charging of spray guns and the high-pres-
sure hose is discharged through the high-pressure hose.
For this reason the electric resistance between the
connections of the high-pressure hose must be equal or
lower than 1 MΩ.
