5. Noise Protection
The system generates a sound level of
approximately 80 dB (A), with the use of
sound dampening, this is reduced to 70 dB
(A). Therefore, hearing protection at the
system installation site is not mandatory.
However, at the workplace proper, (i.e.,
handgun) a noise hazard must be assumed
to be present under normal circumstances
(pursuant to Regulation VBG 87).
Accordingly, suitable hearing protection
must be worn while working in noise-
polluted areas.
6. Work Stations
The operator’s work station is located at
the instrument panel. Dependent on the
system configuration, additional work
stations are constituted by the accessories
(spraying devices) that are connected to
the system taps.
7. Authorised Operators
The operation of the system is restricted to
persons over the age of 18 who have been
properly instructed. An exception is made
with youths over age 16 who need to
operate the system as part of their training,
and if such use of the system is duly
supervised (Regulation VBG 87).
Additional local ordinances must be
observed.
The system operator is responsible for third
persons within the working area.
The areas of responsibility covering the
various operator functions on the machine
must be precisely delineated and
stringently observed.
Overlapping areas of competence present a
safety risk.
The system owner is responsible for:
n
making the Operating Instructions
available to the system operator
n
ensuring that the operator has read and
understood the Operating Instructions
8. Personal Protective Equipment
When cleaning resonating
components, hearing protection
must be worn to prevent hearing
loss.

For protection against spray-water, water
repellent protective clothing must be
