Safety instructions for fine spray
systems
■
Keep your work area clean, well lit and free
of paint and solvents, cloths and other inflam-
mable materials.
Possible risk of spontaneous
combustion. Have a fully-functioning fire extin-
guisher available at all times.
■
Ensure adequate ventilation in the spray zone
and sufficient fresh air in the entire room.
Evaporation of flammable solvents will cause
an explosive environment.
■
Do not spray or clean with materials whose
ignition point is lower than 21°C. Use mater-
ials based on water, non-volatile hydrocarbons
or similar materials.
The evaporation of volatile
solvents will cause an explosive environment.
■
Do not spray near ignition sources such as
static electric sparks, open flames, ignition
flames, hot items, motors, cigarettes and
sparks caused by plugging in/unplugging
power cables or by operating switches.
These
ignition sources could cause a fire to ignite in
the environment.
■
Do not spray any material if you do not know
whether it is potentially dangerous.
Unknown
materials could cause dangerous conditions.
■
Wear additional personal protective equip-
ment such as suitable gloves and a protective
mask/respirator when spraying or handling
chemicals.
Wearing appropriate protective
equipment for the conditions reduces your
exposure to dangerous substances.
■
Do not spray yourself, other people or animals.
Keep your hands and other body parts out
of the spray jet.
If the spray jet pierces the
skin, seek medical assistance immediately. The
sprayed material can even penetrate through a
glove and into the skin and thus into your body.
■
Do not treat such a penetration injury like a
normal cut. A high-pressure jet can inject toxic
materials into the body and cause serious in-
juries.
In the event of a chemical penetration of
the skin, seek medical assistance immediately.
■
Be aware of the potential hazards of the
sprayed material. Take note of the markings
on the container and the manufacturer's infor-
mation on the sprayed material, including the
instruction to use personal protective equip-
ment.
The manufacturer's instructions are to
be followed to reduce the risk of fire or injuries
caused by poisons, carcinogens, etc.
■
Never spray without the nozzle head fitted.
Using a special nozzle with the appropriate
nozzle head reduces the likelihood of high-
pressure jets piercing the skin and injecting
poisons into your body.
Operation
HVLP properties
This appliance has a HVLP system (high volume,
low pressure). This ensures increased material
(paint) application and lower consumption.
IMPORTANT:
Do not exceed the maximum working
pressure of 3 bar.
Connecting the device
■
The product may only be operated using
cleaned, condensate- and oil-free compressed
air and may not exceed the maximum operating
pressure of 3 bar on the appliance.
■
To ensure that you can regulate the air pressure,
the compressed air source should be equipped
with a (filter) pressure reducer.
You will need a flexible compressed air hose
with a quick-disconnect coupling and a suitable
compressed air source to operate this appliance.
Follow all the operating and safety instructions for
the compressed air source and any special instruc-
tions regarding paint preparation.
NOTE
►
Take note of the correct working pressure.
Excessively high pressure leads to strong
dispersion and overly-rapid liquid evapora-
tion. The surfaces become rough and develop
poor adhesion properties. If, however, the
working pressure is too low, the paint will not
be adequately dispersed. This leads to wavy
surfaces and droplets.
