Sources of danger
Always remember, plural component systems operate at very high pressure levels and
unauthorized usage could lead to life-threatening injuries.
Observe and adhere to all instructions found in the user‘s handbooks for optional acces-
sories. Pay close attention to the chapter “Safety” found in the separate user’s manuals.
Pay attention to the following notes:
Danger when spraying
➤
Never point the spray gun* towards yourself, other people or other living creatures!
➤
Never hold your finger or hand in front of the gun and never reach into the spray.
➤
Material hoses have to be more than conforming with maximum working pressure.
Material hoses are never to be „patched“!
➤
Never try to seal leaks on joints and high pressure hoses with your hand or by bind-
ing the spot. Should a leak occur, the whole system (gun, hose, high pressure filter,
pump, etc.) are to be depressurized immediately. Defective parts are to be replaced.
➤
The gun is to be secured and the safety device checked during every interruption
while working, regardless how short (picture 2.1).
➤
The entire system is to be depressurized before maintenance and cleaning work is
carried out.
The compressed air tap lock on the maintenance unit (picture 2.2) as well as the air
pressure regulator of the main pump must be closed.
➤
If the material being used clogs or clumps within the unit, remnant pressure may still
exist despite depressurization efforts. This must be kept in mind when carrying out
repairs!
Special care must be taken when dismantling the high pressure filter, material hoses
and high pressure spray gun* to ensure that no accidents occur due to escaping rem-
nant pressure.
We recommend covering the material hoses’ fittings with a cloth during unscrewing, in
order to capture any fluid which might escape.
➤
When working on the high pressure filter, for example to change the filter, the ma-
chine must first be turned off and depressurized.
Danger to health
➤
If working with heated materials, always wear the proper hand protection.
BURN DANGER!
➤
Heated solvent can release poisonous fumes that could injure the operator.
➤
In closed or pressurised systems where aluminium or galvanised parts come into
contact with the solvent, dangerous chemical reactions can occur if 1.1.1-Trichlor-
ethylene, Methylene Chloride or other solvents containing halogenated chlorinated
hydrocarbons (CFCs) are used. If you wish to work with the above solvents or with
lacquers and paints which contain them, we recommend you contact either
customer services or
directly.
➤
We call your attention to the fact that a series of 2K-units equipment including ver-
sions which are rust- and acid-proof are available for such materials.
