Warning
This equipment can be dangerous if it is not operated in accordance with this
operating manual!
There might be additional regulations to be observed, put into effect by
governmental, state or other official agencies or local security (fire)
departments!
Warning
Under no circumstance may persons with a cardiac pacemaker come close
to the area between the tip of the spray gun and the work piece to be
coated!
The following rules must be observed in order to ensure a safe and efficient use of the
equipment:
•
The user has to observe particularly the safety
guidelines of the VdS, the local professional and
security institutions.
•
Trained and qualified personnel may only
operate the electrostatic coating equipment.
•
The spray gun may only be operated in powder
coating booths or on powder coating stands that
are equipped with a ventilation system.
•
The user has to make sure, that the average
powder/air concentration does not exceed 50%
of the LEL (maximum allowed concentration of
powder in air). If a reliable LEL value is not
available, the average powder/air concentration
may not exceed 10 g/m³.
•
Over sprayed powder must be reliably collected.
•
Adhere to the instructions given by the manufac-
turers and to the prevalent local laws on the
environment when disposing of waste coating
powder.
•
The main power connection for operation of the
Wagner powder equipment must be electrically
interlocked with the exhaust system of the
powder coating booth.
•
In the event of faults or defects, repair work is to
be performed at the user's discretion.
•
The user must conduct periodic checks of the
powder spray equipment (at least every year)
with regard to explosion-protection.
•
Repairs may only be carried out by trained tech-
nicians and may never be carried out in an
explosion hazardous area. Protective measures
against explosions must still be installed.
•
The work area
must
have an electrostatically
conductive floor (measured in accordance with
EN 1081).
•
All conductive parts in the work area
must
be
electrostatically grounded (work area = 1 m
around every spray location or opening in the
booth).
•
All persons inside the work area
must
wear
electrostatically conductive footwear.
•
Spray guns should be operated with bare hands!
If gloves are used they
must
be made of con-
ductive material.
•
Guideline 94/9/EG:
The device is suited for the
applications it was designed for, even in
explosion-hazard areas.
