METACAP Spray Gun D/A
5-8
Version/Edition July 2008
Caution!
It is possible that static electricity may be produced during the spraying
procedure.
In case of high flow rates, it might be possible that an electrostatic spark is
generated by friction. This spark may then ignite certain types of solvents
and coating materials. To avoid fire and explosions, a continuous grounding
of the spray system and of the object to be sprayed should be ensured.
Make also sure that the compressed air plant is grounded so that eventual
charges can be discharged by the tubing. Use only conductive tubing
(resistance > 10
3
Ω
/m and < 10
6
Ω
/m according to the German Employers'
Liability Insurance Association guideline 132). Use our anti-static air hoses,
e.g. 10m item no. 30051, or sold by the meter item no. 300531 as
compressed air supply line. For spreaders METASET 2 – 10 L or bigger,
use our conductive twin-hoses, e.g. 5m item no.30058 or for METASET 3 –
2 Liter our conductive twin-hoses for combination, e.g. 1.5m item no.30073.

Personal Protection
Toxic vapors:
When spraying coating materials, dangerous vapors or clouds (aerosols),
which are detrimental to your health, can escape. Please carefully read all
labels and safety instructions and observe all indicated instructions and
recommendations.
In case of doubt, please ask the material supplier.
—
Please use respiratory equipment when spraying. The respiratory
equipment used must be suitable for the material in use and adapted to
the degree of the gas concentration (when spraying paint, please use
respiratory equipment independent of the ambient atmosphere or
equipment with filter combination A1/A2-P2.
—
Always wear safety goggles during all spraying and cleaning
procedures.
—
When using certain coating materials and solvents, it is indispensable to
wear protective gloves during all spraying, cleaning or maintenance
procedures.
—
Ensure a sufficient protection of your skin during all spraying and
cleaning procedures. Either wear appropriate protective clothes or use
suitable protective skin ointments. We recommend expendable suits
and/or our liquid gloves called METACLEAN or similar products.
