While work is in progress, there must not be any source of ignition (naked
flames, lighted cigarettes, etc.) in the working area as these might generate
easily flammable gases. Likewise, the approved protective means must be used
(breathing, hearing, etc.) in accordance with the regulations established in this
regard.
If the unit is used in an inadequate manner or its components are altered in any way severe
material damage may occur and bodily harm may be caused to the operator,
or animals and may even cause death. SAGOLA S.A.U. accepts no responsibility in for any damage
caused through the incorrect use of the unit.
Always use approved breathing units in accordance with current Standards and
Regulations in order to protect yourself from emissions produced during application.
Never exceed the maximum air inlet pressure (8 bar). Excessive pressure will cause greater
environmental contamination. To provide the hose with compressed air for the pistol, fit a pressure
regulator and a safety valve.
As a general, preventive measure we advise you to wear goggles in accordance with the
specific environmental regulations and characteristics for the work centre.
Wear gloves when handling the product (see the manufacturer's recommendations) and
clean the gun.
If, when the gun is in use, the ambient noise level exceeds 85 dB (A) the use of approved
ear protectors is required.
The gun in itself does not propitiate any mechanical risk of perforations, impact or pinching,
except those deriving from incorrect installations and handling.
While work is in progress, no vibrations are transmitted from the gun to any part of the body of the
operator and reaction forces are minimal.
Use SAGOLA ANTISTATIC HOSES to eliminate possible electrical
discharges that might create the risk of fire or explosion.
Pay adequate attention when handling the gun in order to prevent any damage that might lead to
dangerous situations for the user or personnel standing near the unit, as a consequence of leaks,
breakages, etc. Do not use it if your mental capacity, perceptions and reactions are altered due to
substances such as alcohol, drugs, medicines, etc., or by tiredness or for any other reason.
The gun has been designed for use at ambient temperature. Its maximum service temperature is
50°C. Although the air temperature of the compressed air or product is higher, this must not exceed the
maximum average temperature in the body of the gun. If the temperature exceeds 43°C, it is necessary
to use personal protective equipment, such as gloves to thermally insulate your hands from the unit.
The use of solvents and/or detergents that contain halogenated
hydrocarbons
cause chemical reactions in the unit as well as in its zinc-coated
components (trichloroethane mixed with small amounts of water
produces hydrochloric acid). For this reason, these components
may rust and in extreme cases the chemical reaction caused may be
explosive. We recommend you to use products that do not contain
the aforementioned components. Do not use acids, soda (alkalis or
pickling substances, etc.) for cleaning under any circumstances.
