 Be aware of possible hazards from the spray material. Observe the information on
drums/tanks/tins as well as manufacturer information of the spray material, including the
request to wear personal protective equipment. The manufacturer's instructions are to be
observed in order to reduce the risk of fire as well as injuries caused through toxins,
carcinogens, etc.
 Use only nozzles/nozzle inserts specified by the manufacturer. Never spray without the
nozzle protection mounted. Use of a special nozzle insert with the corresponding nozzle
protection reduces the probability that a high-pressure jet penetrates the skin and injects
toxins into the body.
 Exercise caution when cleaning and changing nozzle inserts. If the nozzle insert should
become clogged during spraying, follow the manufacturer's instructions for switching off
the system and relieving the pressure before removing the nozzle. Fluids under high
pressure can penetrate the skin, inject toxins into the body and lead to serious injury.
 Keep the plug of the mains cord and the trigger switch of the spray gun clear of paint and
other fluids. Never hold the cord by its connectors to support it. Failure to follow the
instruction can lead to electric shock.
We accept no responsibility for damage caused by the use of unsuitable
substances, or paints that have not been thinned correctly, and any health
hazards that arise from lack of adequate ventilation
5.1 Immediately switch off the spray gun when:
 Interruption in the mains plug, mains lead or mains lead damage.
 Defect switch.
