1 SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR
AIRLESS SPRAYING
The safety-speci c requirements for Airless spraying are spe-
ci ed in:
a) The European Standard „Spray equipment for coating ma-
terials – safety regulations „ (EN 1953: 1998).
b) The regulations of the German employer‘s liability insu-
rance association („Berufsgenossenschaft“) „Using liquid
jets“ (BGV D15) and „Processing coating materials „ (BGV
D25).
c) Guidelines for construction and implementation require-
ments for liquid jets (spraying units) of the German indus-
trial employer‘s liability insurance association (ZH1/406).
The following safety regulations are to be observed in order
to ensure safe handling of the Airless high-pressure spraying
unit.
.
1.1 FLASH POINT
Only spray coating materials with a ash point
of 21 °C or higher.
The ash point is the lowest temperature at
which vapors develop from the coating ma-
terial. These vapors are su cient to form an
in ammable mixture over the air above the
coating material.
1.2 EXPLOSION PROTECTION
Do not use the unit in work places which are
covered by the explosion protection regulati-
ons.
The unit is not designed to be explosion pro-
tected.
1.3 DANGER OF EXPLOSION AND FIRE FROM
SOURCES OF IGNITION DURING SPRAYING
WORK
There must be no sources of ignition such as,
for example, open res, lit cigarettes, cigars or
tobacco pipes, sparks, glowing wires, hot sur-
faces, etc. in the vicinity.
1.4 DANGER OF INJURY FROM THE SPRAY JET
Attention, danger of injury by injection!
Never point the spray gun at yourself, other
persons or animals.
Never use the spray gun without spray jet
safety guard.
The spray jet must not come into contact
with any part of the body.
In working with Airless spray guns, the high
spray pressures arising can cause very dan-
gerous injuries. If contact is made with the
spray jet, coating material can be injected
into the skin. Do not treat a spray injury as a
harmless cut. In case of injury to the skin by
coating material or solvents, consult a doctor
for quick and correct treatment. Inform the
doctor about the coating material or solvent
used.
1.5 SECURE SPRAY GUN AGAINST UNINTENDED
OPERATION
Always secure the spray gun when mounting or dismounting
the tip and in case of interruption to work.
1.6 RECOIL OF SPRAY GUN
When using a high operating pressure, pulling
the trigger guard can e ect a recoil force up
to 15 N.
If you are not prepared for this, your hand can
be thrust backwards or your balance lost. This
can lead to injury.
1.7 BREATHING EQUIPMENT AS PROTECTION
AGAINST SOLVENT VAPORS
Wear breathing equipment during spraying work.
A breathing mask is to be made available to the user (regula-
tions of the German employer‘s liability insurance association
(„Berufsgenossenschaft“) „Rules for the use of breathing mas-
ks“ (BGR 190), „Using liquid jets“ (BGV D15) and „Processing
coating materials „ (BGV D25).
