Hazard: Explosion and fire hazard
Flammable vapors, such as Fumes from solvents and
paints can ignite or explode in the work areas.
Precautions:
•Do not process materials with a flash point below 38 °C (100 °F).
The flash point is the temperature at which aliquid develops so
many vapors that they can ignite.
•Do not use the device in production facilities that are covered by
the Explosion Protection Ordinance.
•Ensure good extraction and supply of fresh air so that no flamma-
ble fumes accumulate in the spray area.
•Exclude all ignition sources such as sparks from electrostatic dis-
charge, electrical appliances, open flames, ignition flames, hot ob-
jects and sparks by closing and disconnecting power cords or actu-
ating work light switches.
•Do not smoke in the spray area.
•Place the sprayer at a sufficient distance from the object to be
sprayed in a well-ventilated area (use an extension hose if neces-
sary). Flammable fumes are often heavier than air. The area above
the ground must be particularly well ventilated. The pump contains
parts in which arc formation cannot be ruled out and which ignite
vapours through sparks.
•The objects to be sprayed and the equipment in the spray area
must be carefully grounded to avoid sparks caused by electrostatic
discharges.
•Use only conductive or grounded high-pressure liquid hoses. The
spray gun must be grounded via the hose connections.
•The power cord must be connected to aprotective contact
circuit (for electrical appliances only).
•To flush the device, always spray into a separate metal con-
tainer with low pump pressure and removed spray nozzle.
