General Safety Precautions
• It is important that all applicable accident prevention directives as well as industrial
safety and health rules and regulations are duly complied with.
• Use this spray gun in well ventilated rooms. Open fires, naked lights and smoking are
prohibited in the working area. Spraying of readily flammable media such as paints,
lacquers, cleaning agents, etc., causes a potential health, explosion and fire risk.
• You must ensure that the spray gun is properly earthed (grounded) either separately
or in connection with the equipment with which it is being used (max. resist. 106
Ω
).
• Prior to any servicing and repair work: Make sure that the spray gun is in unpressuri-
zed condition, i.e. all air and material inputs must be shut off - if not, imminent risk of
injury.
• Keep your hands and other extremities away from the front of the spray gun - immi-
nent risk of injury.
• Never point the spray gun at persons or animals - imminent risk of injury.
• It is important that all processing specifications and safety warnings issued by the
manufacturers of spraying and cleaning media are duly complied with. Aggressive and
corrosive media represent risk and hazards to personal health.
• The spray guns can produce sound levels of up to about 83 dB (A). It is therefore
important to wear suitable hearing protectors.
• Air-borne particles represent a health hazard and must therefore be kept away from
the working area. Wear proper respiratory protection masks and protective overalls
when working with spraying media. Air-borne particles represent a health hazard.
• Nuts, screws and fasteners are always likely to come loose; therefore it is important to
ensure that they are properly tightened, especially after servicing and repair work.
• Make sure you use only original WALTHER-PILOT replacement parts designed for
functional reliability and efficiency.
