Suction Feed Undercoat Gun 675130
Protect your hearing
• Always wear ear protection.
Protection from vibration
• Hand-held air tools may produce vibration and should not be used for
long periods without a break. Vibration can cause disease. Gloves may
help to maintain good blood circulation in the fingers.
Protective equipment
• Always wear appropriate protective equipment including but not limited
to overalls, gloves, facemask etc.
• It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that other persons in the vicinity
of the work area are also equipped with the appropriate protective
equipment.
Use the correct air hose
• Use lightweight hose to connect the tool to the air compressor.
• Air should be supplied by a suitable length of 8mm (
5 ⁄
16
") diameter
air hose fitted with a female 1 ⁄
4
" NPS connection at gun end. For hose
lengths over 15m (50'), use 9.5mm ( 3 ⁄
8
") diameter hose.
• When spraying, ensure that the gun is connected to a clean, filtered air
supply.
Always disconnect
• Ensure that your air tool has completely stopped functioning before
putting it down.
• Disconnect an air tool from the air supply before performing any
servicing or refilling
• Ensure the air tool is switched OFF before connecting to air supply. Be
aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always bleed
air pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply.
Do not abuse the tool
• Do not increase air pressure above the recommended level; excessive
pressure leads to wear of moving parts, possible failure and may cause
the tool casing to split.
• Do not attempt to modify air tools. Any attempt to modify this air tool
could result in serious injury to you or others, and will invalidate its
warranty.
Use of spray guns
• Do not aim a spray gun at people or animals!
• When spraying keep away from heat and naked flames!
WARNING: Solvents and paints are flammable, harmful and can even be
toxic. Some solvents and paints are extremely flammable. Handle with care,
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Store solvents and paint
in suitable sealed, leak proof containers. Always wear suitable protective
equipment and dispose of solvents and paints, as well as contaminated
items, as special waste, according to laws and regulations.
WARNING: Solvents that are chemically based on halogenated hydrocarbon,
like trichloroethane and methylene chloride 1,1,1, for example, may cause
chemical reactions in combination with aluminium and galvanized or hot
galvanized components and will therefore represent a potential risk of
explosion.
WARNING: When spraying coating materials, dangerous vapours or
aerosols, which are detrimental to your health, are produced. Please
read all labels and safety instructions carefully, and observe all indicated
instructions and recommendations. In case of doubt, please ask the
material supplier. Use respiratory protection when spraying. The respiratory
equipment used must be suitable for the material in use and adapted to the
degree of the vapour concentration. When spraying paint, use respiratory
equipment independent of the ambient atmosphere, or equipment with filter
combination A1/A2-P2. Ensure a sufficient protection of your skin during all
spraying and cleaning procedures. Wear appropriate protective clothes and
use suitable protective skin ointments.
WARNING: Do not atomize acids, caustic solutions, removers and similar
substances.
• If the operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or recurring
discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning
sensations or stiffness, these warning signs should not be ignored.
The operator should inform the employer and consult a qualified health
professional
Accessory Hazards
• Disconnect the tool from the energy supply before filling or changing
accessories
• Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are
recommended by the manufacturer of this tool; do not use other types or
sizes of accessories or consumables
Workplace Hazards
• Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware
of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and also of trip hazards
caused by the air line or hydraulic hose
• This tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and
is not insulated against contact with electric power
Dust and Fume Hazards
• Dust and fumes generated when using this tool can cause ill health
(for example cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); risk
assessment and implementation of appropriate controls for these
hazards are essential
• Risk assessment should include dust created by the use of the tool and
the potential for disturbing existing dust
• Operate and maintain this tool as recommended in these instructions, to
minimise dust or fume emissions
• Direct the exhaust so as to minimise disturbance of dust in a dust-filled
environment
• Where dust or fumes are created, the priority should be to control them
at the point of emission
• All integral features or accessories for the collection, extraction or
suppression of airborne dust or fumes should be correctly used and
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
• Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as
recommended in the instruction handbook, to prevent an unnecessary
increase in dust or fumes
• Use respiratory protection in accordance with employer's instructions
and as required by occupational health and safety regulations
Safety Instructions for Pneumatic
Tools
Air under pressure can cause severe injury:
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool
from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when
making repairs
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or
loose hoses and fittings
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock
pins should be installed and whipcheck safety cables should be used
to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection
failure
• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool
• Never carry an air tool by the hose
• Spray Gun Safety
Dangerous environment
• Ensure there is adequate clear space around the work area. Only use
spraying tools in a well-ventilated area or a specialist spray booth. Be
aware that air hoses can present a trip hazard; always lay hoses in a way
that minimises hazards.
Protect your eyes
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses.
