ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety instructions for working with compressed air and blasting guns
• Ensure there is sufficient distance to the product, at least 2.50 m, and keep the com-
pressed air tools / compressed air attachments away from the compressor during oper-
ation.
• The compressor pump and lines can become very hot during operation. Touching these
parts will burn you.
• The air which is sucked in by the compressor must be kept free of impurities that could
cause fires or explosions in the compressor pump.
• When releasing the hose coupling, hold the hose coupling piece with your hand. This
way, you can protect yourself against injury from the rebounding hose.
• Wear safety goggles and a respirator when working with the compressed air pistol. Dusts
are harmful to health! Minor injuries can be caused by foreign objects and blown away
parts.
• Do not blow at people with the blow-out pistol and do not clean clothes while being worn.
Danger of injury!
Safety instructions when using spraying attachments (e.g. paint sprayers):
• Keep the spray attachment away from the compressor when filling so that no liquid comes
into contact with the compressor.
• Never spray in the direction of the compressor when using the spraying attachments (e.g.
paint sprayers). Moisture can lead to electrical hazards!
• Do not process any paints or solvents with a flash point below 55° C. Risk of explosion!
• Do not heat up paints or solvents. Risk of explosion!
• If hazardous liquids are processed, wear protective filter units (face guards). Also, adhere
to the safety information provided by the manufacturers of such liquids.
• The details and designations of the Ordinance on Hazardous Substances, which are
displayed on the outer packaging of the processed material, must be observed. Addi-
tional protective measures are to be undertaken if necessary, particularly the wearing of
suitable clothing and masks.
• Do not smoke during the spraying process and/or in the work area. Risk of explosion!
Paint vapours are easily combustible.
• Never set up or operate the equipment in the vicinity of a fire place, open lights or spark-
ing machines.
• Do not store or eat food and drink in the work area. Paint vapours are harmful to your
health.
• The work area must exceed 30 m³ and sufficient ventilation must be ensured during
spraying and drying.
• Do not spray against the wind. Always adhere to the regulations of the local police author-
ity when spraying combustible or hazardous materials.
