4.1.2 A SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT
Hazard due to dangerous uids or steam!
Severe or fatal injuries due to explosion hazard or inhalation, swallowing or contact with
the skin or eyes.
Ensure that the oor in the working are is static dissipative in accordance
withEN61340-4-1 (resistance must not exceed 100 MΩ).
Paint mist extraction systems/ventilation systems must be tted on site according
to local regulations.
Make sure that the ground connection and potential equalization of all system parts
are reliable and continuous and can withstand the expected stress (e.g. mechanical
stress, corrosion).
Ensure that product / air hoses adapted to the working pressure are used.
Ensure that personal protective equipment (see Chapter 4.2.1) is available and is
used.
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 MΩ.
Ensure that during spraying, persons wear electrically conductive gloves. The
grounding takes place via the spray gun handle or the trigger.
Protective clothing, including gloves, must comply with EN 1149-5. The measured
insulation resistance must not exceed 100 MΩ.
Ensure that there are no ignition sources such as naked ames, sparks, glowing
wires, or hot surfaces in the vicinity. No smoking.
Ensure that the pipe joints, hoses, equipment parts and connections are
permanently, technically leak-proof:
- Periodic preventative maintenance and service (replacing hoses, checking
tightness strength of the connections etc.).
- Regular monitoring of leaks and defects via visual inspection and odor testing,
e.g., daily before commissioning, at the end of work or weekly.
In the event of defects, immediately bring the device or system to a stop and
arrange to have repairs carried out immediately.
4.1.3 PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONS
Hazard due to incorrect use of device!
Risk of death due to untrained personnel.
Ensure that the operating personnel has been instructed by the operator in
accordance with the operating manual and the operating instructions. The device
must only be operated, maintained and repaired by trained personnel. Refer to the
operating instructions for information about the required personnel qualications.
4.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR STAFF
Always follow the information in this manual, particularly the safety instructions and
the warning instructions.
Always follow local regulations concerning occupational safety and accident
prevention.

OPERATING MANUAL
VERSION 07/2017 ORDER NUMBER DOC 2349369
4.2.1 USE PERSONAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Hazard due to dangerous uids or steam!
Serious or fatal injuries due to inhalation, swallowing or contact with the skin or eyes.
When preparing or working with paint 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 hand 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.
4.2.2 SAFE HANDLING OF WAGNER SPRAY DEVICES
Hazard due to injection of lacquer or ushing agent into the skin!
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 any work on the device, in the event of work interruptions and malfunctions:
- Relieve the pressure from the spray gun and device.
- Secure the spray gun against actuation.
- Switch o the energy/compressed air supply.
- Disconnect the control unit from the mains.
- In the event of functional faults, remedy the fault as described in the
"Troubleshooting" chapter.
If needed, the liquid ejection devices must be checked by experts (e.g., WAGNER
service technician) at least every 12 months for their work-safe condition in
accordance with DGUV regulation 100-500 Chapter 2.29 and Chapter 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 lacquer or ushing agents:
Note the lacquer or ushing agent that you have been using.
Consult a doctor immediately.
Danger due to recoil forces!
Actuating the trigger can causes strong recoil forces. Thereby the user can lose his
balance and injure himself during falling.
Avoid risk of injury from recoil forces:
Ensure that you have firm footing when operating the spray gun.

OPERATING MANUAL
VERSION 07/2017 ORDER NUMBER DOC 2349369
4.2.3 GROUND THE UNIT
Hazard due to electrostatic charge!
Explosion hazard and damage to the device.
Friction, owing liquids and air or electrostatic coating processes create charges. Flames
or sparks can form during discharge.
Correct grounding of the entire spraying system prevents electrostatic charges.
Ensure that all devices and tanks are grounded before each spraying process.
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
spray gun handle or the trigger.
The spray substance supply (spray substance tank, pump, etc.) must be grounded.
4.2.4 PRODUCT HOSES
Hazard due to bursting of product hose!
The product hose is under pressure and may cause dangerous injuries.
Ensure that the hose material is chemically resistant to the sprayed products and
the ushing agents used.
Ensure that the product hose and the ttings are 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 or
- 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.
Ensure that no work is ever performed with a damaged hose.
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 MΩ.
Suction hoses may not be subjected to pressure.
