In order to perform maintenance, repairs or cleaning, first
disconnect the unit from the compressed air supply, after
having correctly carried out the DEPRESSURISATION
procedure described in Section 10 of the Manual.
Never point the jet of the unit towards yourself, other
people or animals. The solvents and spray devices used
can cause serious injury.
With this equipment the product is sprayed at low pressu-
re. If the product is sprayed or splashed in the eyes it can
cause serious injury.
Never attempt to stop the application stream or a leak
with your hand or any other part of your body. If you feel
that you may have been sprayed with the product on your
skin, IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL CARE. This
incident must not be treated as a simple cut. Describe the
product with which it occurred to the Physician with as
much detail as possible.
The premises where work is carried out must have
sufficient ventilation in accordance with current legislation
and regulations. Near the unit, only keep the amount of
product and solvent required for the job being done at that
time. After the job has been completed, the surplus
solvents and product to be applied must be returned to
their specific storage location. Keep the working area
clean and free of potentially dangerous waste (solvents,
rags, etc.).
While work is in progress, there must not be any source of
ignition (naked flames, lit cigarettes, etc.) in the working
area as the work may generate easily flammable gases.
Similarly, type approved work hazard protection means
must be used (for breathing, hearing, etc.) in accordance
with current legislation.
If the unit is used in an inadequate manner or its compo-
nents are altered in any way, severe material damage
may occur and bodily harm may be caused to the opera-
tor, other personnel and/or animals and may even cause
death.
SAGOLA, S.A. accepts no liability for any damages

16. HEALTH AND SAFETY

As a general preventive measure, we advise you to wear
protective goggles in accordance with the specific
environmental regulations and features of the work
centre.
Use gloves when handling the product (see the manufac-
turer's recommendations) and when cleaning the gun it
when during the use of the gun the environmental noise
exceeds 90 dB. The use of type approved hearing protec-
tion is recommended. The gun itself does not propitiate
any mechanical risk of perforations, impact or pinching,
except those derived from incorrect installation and hand-
ling.
USE SAGOLA ANTI-STATIC HOSES TO ELIMINATE
POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHOCK THAT MAY LEAD
TO A RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
Pay adequate attention when handling the unit in order to
prevent any damage that might lead to dangerous
situations for the user or personnel standing near the unit,
as a consequence of leaks, breakages, etc.
The equipment has been designed for use at room
temperature. The maximum operating temperature is
50ºC.
The use of solvents and/or detergents that contain
halogenated hydrocarbons (trichloroethane, methylene
chloride, etc.), may cause chemical reactions in the unit
as well as to its zinc-plated components (trichloroethane
mixed with small quantities of water makes hydrochloric
acid). For this reason, these components may rust and in
extreme cases the chemical reaction caused may be
explosive.
We recommend you use products that do not contain the
aforementioned components. Do not use acids, soda
(alkalis or paint strippers, etc.) for cleaning under any
circumstances.
In general, precautions must be taken whenever the unit
is handled, in order to prevent any damage to it. In gene-
ral, the coupling fittings and the connections must be
properly tightened and in good condition.
The safety standards must be understood and applied.
Failure to follow the instructions in this manual may cause
