Use of the spray gun in zone 0 is prohibited!
- Do not use solvents and/or halocarbon based detergents (Ethyl trichloride, Methyl chloride, etc.) since they could rust
galvanised parts causing even explosive chemical reactions!
- Do not smoke or produce sparks: this could cause fire!
- Always be sure that the painting equipment is earthed correctly!

HEALTH EQUIPMENT AND PRECAUTIONS
- When using and cleaning the spray gun, always wear suitable protective glove and goggles, as well as specific masks

- The use of some paint products containing organic solvents can cause intoxication due to the toxic fumes they emit.
In every case, it is necessary to read the technical sheets for the products before use!
- The use of compressors or other pulsating pressure generators may produce vibrations that can cause injuries due to
repeated stress, especially when the tube that connects the compressor to the spray gun is not sufficiently long and
flexible!
