4 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OPERATOR
4.1.1 ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
4.1.2 PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS
4.1.3 SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT
Keep this operating manual at hand near the device at all times.
Always follow local regulations concerning occupational safety and accident
prevention.
Electrical devices and equipment
To be provided in accordance with the local safety requirements with regard to the
operating mode and ambient inuences.
May only be maintained by skilled electricians or under their supervision.
Must be operated in accordance with the safety regulations and electrotechnical
regulations.
Must be repaired immediately in the event of problems.
Must be decommissioned if they pose a hazard.
Must be de-energized before work is commenced on active parts. Inform sta about
planned work. Observe electrical safety regulations.
Ensure that the device is operated and repaired only by trained persons.
Ensure that the oor in the working area is static dissipative in accordance with
EN61340-4-1 (resistance must not exceed 100 megohms).
Ensure that all persons within the working area wear static dissipative shoes. Footwear
must comply with EN 20344. The measured insulation resistance must not exceed
100megohms.
Ensure that during spraying, persons wear static dissipative gloves. The grounding
takes place via the gun's bow guard.
If protective clothing is worn, including gloves, it has to comply with EN 1149-5. The
measured insulation resistance must not exceed 100 megohms.
Paint mist extraction systems/ventilation systems must be tted on site according to
local regulations.
Ensure that the following components of a safe working environment are available:
- Product/air hoses adapted to the working pressure.
- Personal safety equipment (breathing and skin protection).

4.2.1 SAFE HANDLING OF WAGNER SPRAY DEVICES
The spray jet is under pressure and can cause dangerous injuries.
Avoid injection of paint or ushing agents:
Never point the spray gun at people.
Never reach into the spray jet.
Before all work on the device, in the event of work interruptions and functional faults:
- Switch o the energy/compressed air supply.
- Relieve the pressure from the spray gun and device.
- Secure the spray gun against actuation.
- In the event of functional faults, remedy the fault as described in the "Troubleshooting"
chapter.
If necessary or at least every 12 months, the liquid ejection devices should be checked
for safe working conditions by an expert (e.g.,Wagner Service Technician) in accordance
with the guidelines for liquid ejection devices (ZH1/406 and BGR500 Part2 Chapter2.29
and 2.36).
- For shut down devices, the examination can be suspended until the next start-up.
Carry out the work steps as described in the "Pressure Relief" chapter:
- If pressure relief is required.
- If the spraying work is interrupted or stopped.
- Before the device is cleaned on the outside, checked or serviced.
- Before the spray nozzle is installed or cleaned.
In the event of skin injuries caused by paint or ushing agents:
Note the paint or ushing agent that you have been using.
Consult a doctor immediately.
Avoid risk of injury from recoil forces:
Ensure that you have firm footing when operating the spray gun.
Only hold the spray gun briey in a position.
4.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR STAFF
Always follow the information in this manual, particularly the general safety instructions
and the warning instructions.
Always follow local regulations concerning occupational safety and accident
prevention.
4.2.2 GROUNDING THE DEVICE
In order to avoid electrostatic charging of the device, the device must be grounded.
Friction, owing liquids and air or electrostatic coating processes create charges. Flames
or sparks can form during discharge.
Ensure that the device is grounded for every spraying operation.
Ground the work pieces to be coated.
Ensure that all persons inside the working area are grounded, e.g., that they are
wearing static dissipative shoes.
Wear static dissipative gloves when spraying. The grounding takes place via the gun's
bow guard.

VERSION 02/2015 ORDER NUMBER DOC2349369
4.2.3 PRODUCT HOSES
Ensure that the hose material is chemically resistant to the sprayed products and the
used ushing agents.
Ensure that the product hose is suitable for the pressure generated.
Ensure that the following information can be seen on the high pressure hose:
- Manufacturer
- Permissible operating pressure
- Date of manufacture
Make sure that the hoses are laid only in suitable places. Hoses should not be laid in the
following places under any circumstances:
- In high-traffic areas
- At sharp edges
- On moving parts
- On hot surfaces
Ensure that the hoses are never run over by vehicles (e.g. fork lifts), or that the hoses are
never put under pressure from the outside in any other way.
Ensure that the hoses are never kinked. Observe maximum bending radii.
Make sure that the hoses are never used to pull or move the equipment.
The electrical resistance of the product hose, measured at both valves, must be less
than 1 megohm.
Suction hoses may not be subjected to pressure.
Several liquids have a high expansion coecient. In some cases their volume can rise with
consequent damage to pipes, ttings, etc. and cause uid leakage.
When the pump sucks liquid from a closed tank, ensure that air or a suitable gas can enter
the tank. Thus a negative pressure is avoided. The vacuum could implode the container
(squeeze) and can cause it to break. The container would leak and the liquid would ow
out. The pressure created by the pump is a multiplication of the inlet air pressure.
4.2.4 CLEANING AND FLUSHING
Relieve the pressure from the device.
De-energize the device electrically.
Preference should be given to non-ammable cleaning and ushing agents.
Observe the specications of the paint manufacturer.
Ensure that the ash point of the cleaning agent is at least 15 K above the ambient
temperature or that cleaning is undertaken at a cleaning station with technical
ventilation.
Take measures for workplace safety (see Chapter 4.1.3).
When commissioning or emptying the device, please note that an explosive mixture
may temporarily exist inside the lines and components of equipment:
- depending on the coating product used,
- depending on the ushing agent (solvent) used,
explosive mixture inside the lines and items of equipment.

4.2.5 HANDLING HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS, VARNISHES AND PAINTS
When preparing or working with lacquer and when cleaning the device, follow the
working instructions of the manufacturer of the lacquers, solvents and cleaning agents
being used.
Take the specied protective measures, in particular wear safety goggles, protective
clothing and gloves, as well as skin protection cream if necessary.
Use a mask or breathing apparatus if necessary.
For sucient health and environmental safety: Operate the device in a spray booth or
on a spraying wall with the ventilation (extraction) switched on.
Wear suitable protective clothing when working with hot products.
Only electrically conductive tanks may be used for cleaning and ushing agents.
The containers must be grounded.
An explosive gas/air mixture forms in closed containers.
Never spray into a closed tank when using solvents for ushing.
External cleaning
When cleaning the exterior of the device or its parts, also observe the following:
Disconnect the pneumatic supply line.
Use only moistened cloths and brushes. Never use abrasive agents or hard objects, and
never spray cleaning agents with a spray gun. Cleaning the device must not damage it
in any way.
Ensure that no electrical component is cleaned with nor even immersed into solvent.
4.2.6 TOUCHING HOT SURFACES
Only touch hot surfaces (temperature > 43 °C; 109 °F) if you are wearing protective
gloves.
When operating the device with a coating product with a temperature of > 43 °C;
109.4°F:
- Identify the device with a warning label, "Warning – Hot surface".
Order No.
