1.1 Explanation of symbols used
This manual contains information that must be read and understood
before using the equipment. When you come to an area that has one
of the following symbols, pay particular attention and make certain
to heed the safeguard.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard that
may cause serious injury or loss of life. Important
safety information will follow.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard to you
or to the equipment. Important information that
tells how to prevent damage to the equipment or
Attention
how to avoid causes of minor injuries will follow.
Danger of skin injection
Danger of fire from solvent and paint fumes
Danger of explosion from solvent, paint fumes
and incompatible materials
Danger of injury from inhalation of harmful
vapors
Notes give important information which should
i
be given special attention.
HAZARD: INJECTION INJURy
A high pressure stream produced by this equipment
can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to
serious injury and possible amputation.
Do not treat a spraying injury as a harmless cut. In
case of injury to the skin through coating materials
or solvents, consult a doctor immediately for quick
and expert treatment. Inform the doctor about the
coating material or solvent used.
PREVENTION:
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream.
DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the fluid hose.
• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the fluid pump off and
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip guard,
changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be
released by turning off the engine. The PRIME/SPRAY valve
or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate
positions to relieve system pressure.
• ALWAYS keep tip guard in place while spraying. The tip guard
provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.
• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the
system.
• NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and
trigger guard in place.
GB
• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum
operating pressure range of the sprayer. This includes spray
tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
HAZARD: HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking
and abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin.
Inspect the hose before each use.
PREVENTION:
• High-pressure hoses must be checked thoroughly before they
are used.
• Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately.
• Never repair defective high-pressure hoses yourself!
• Avoid sharp bends and folds: the smallest bending radius is
about 20 cm.
• Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against
sharp objects and edges.
• Never pull on the high-pressure hose to move the device.
• Do not twist the high-pressure hose.
• Do not put the high-pressure hose into solvents. Use only a
wet cloth to wipe down the outside of the hose.
• Lay the high-pressure hose in such a way as to ensure that it
cannot be tripped over.
Only use WAGNER original-high-pressure hoses in
i
order to ensure functionality, safety and durability.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Flammable vapors, such as solvent and paint vapors,
in work area can ignite or explode.
PREVENTION:
• Use equipment only in well ventilated area. Keep a good
supply of fresh air moving through the area to keep the air
within the spray area free from accumulation of flammable
vapors. Keep pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do not
spray pump assembly.
• Electric models only - Do not use materials with a flashpoint
below 38º C (100º F). Flashpoint is the temperature at which a
fluid can produce enough vapors to ignite.
• Gas models only - Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running
or hot; shut off engine and allow to cool. Fuel is flammable
and can ignite or explode if spilled on a hot surface.
• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as pilot lights, cigarettes,
portable electric lamps and plastic drop cloths (potential static
arc).
• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and
gasoline.
• Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light
switches on or off when flammable vapors are present.
• Ground equipment and conductive objects in work area.
Make sure the grounding cable (not equipped) is connected
from the grounding lug to a true earth ground.
• Use only grounded hoses.
• Hold spray gun firmly to the side of a grounded pail when
triggering into pail.
• If there is static sparking or if you feel a shock, stop operation
immediately.
• Know the contents of the paint and solvents being sprayed.
