Impact 400
hAZArD: hIgh preSSure hoSe
The paint hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking and abuse. A leak can inject material into
the skin. Inspect the hose before each use.
preveNTIoN:
•
Avoid sharp bending or kinking of the high-pressure hose.
The smallest bending radius amounts to about 20 cm.
•
Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against
sharp objects and edges.
•
Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately.
•
Never repair defective high-pressure hoses yourself!
•
Electrostatic charging of spray guns and the high-pressure
hose is discharged through the high-pressure hose. For this
reason the electric resistance between the connections of
the high-pressure hose must be equal to or lower than
1MΩ.
•
For reasons of function, safety and durability use only
original Titan high-pressure hoses.
•
Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion
or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of
couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these
conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with
another earthed high-pressure hose.
•
Make sure power cord, air hose and spray hoses are routed
in such a manner to minimize slip, trip and fall hazard.
hAZArD: exploSIoN or fIre
Flammable vapors, such as solvent and paint
vapors, in work area can ignite or explode.
preveNTIoN:
•
Do not use materials with a flashpoint below 38° C (100° F).
Flashpoint is the temperature at which a fluid can produce
enough vapors to ignite.
•
Do not use the unit in work places which are covered by
the explosion protection regulations.
•
Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to
keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation
of flammable vapors.
•
Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks,
electrical appliances, flames, pilot lights, hot objects, and
sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or
working light switches.
•
Do not smoke in spray area.
•
Place sprayer sufficient distance from the spray object
in a well ventilated area (add more hose if necessary).
Flammable vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area
must be extremely well ventilated. The pump contains
arcing parts that emit sparks and can ignite vapors.
•
The equipment and objects in and around the spray area
must be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.
•
Use only conductive or earthed high pressure fluid hose.
Gun must be earthed through hose connections.
•
Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit
(electric units only).
•
Always flush unit into separate metal container, at low
pump pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly
against side of container to ground container and prevent
static sparks.
•
Follow material and solvent manufacturer's warnings and
instructions. Be familiar with the coating material's MSDS
sheet and technical information to ensure safe use.
•
Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
•
When cleaning the unit with solvents, the solvent should
never be sprayed or pumped back into a container with
a small opening (bunghole). An explosive gas/air mixture
can arise. The container must be earthed.
•
Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons.
Such as chlorine, bleach, mildewcide,
methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier
about compatibility of material with aluminum.
