Indications about the dangers potential:
In order to carry out maintenance, repairs or
cleaning, first disconnect the unit from the com-
pressed air distribution network.
If you are carrying out works of spraying of
products or paints, never point the unit towards
yourself, others or animals. The thinners and
dilution media used can cause serious injury.
We recommend using this unit in premises with
forced ventilation, in accordance with the current
standards and provisions on the matter.
Near the unit, only keep the amount of product
and thinner required for the work being done at
that time. After work has been completed,
thinners and the product to be applied must be
returned to their corresponding storage location.
Keep the working area clean and free of poten-
tially dangerous waste (thinners, rags, etc...).
While work is in progress, there must not be any
source of ignition (naked flames, lighted cigaret-
tes, etc.) in the working area as these might gene-
rate easily flammable gases. Likewise, the appro-
ved protective means must be used (breathing,
hearing, etc.) in accordance with the regulations
established in this regard.
If the unit is used in an inadequate manner or its
components are altered in any way severe mate-
rial damage may occur and bodily harm may be
caused to the operator, other personnel and/or
animals and may even cause death. SAGOLA
S.A. accepts no responsibility in for any damage
caused through the incorrect use of the unit.
Always use approved breathing units in accor-
dance with current Standards and Regulations in
order to protect yourself from emissions produced
during application.
As a general, preventive measure we advise you
to wear goggles in accordance with them speci-
fic environmental regulations and characteristics
for the work centre.
Wear gloves when handling the product (see the
manufacturer's recommendations) and clean the
remover.
While work is in progress, no vibrations are
transmitted from the gun to any part of the body
of the operator and reaction forces are minimal.
12. HEALTH AND SAFETY
USE SAGOLA ANTISTATIC HOSES TO ELIMINATE
POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL DISCHARGES THAT MIGHT
CREATE THE RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
Pay adequate attention when handling the remo-
ver in order to prevent any damage that might
lead to dangerous situations for the user or
personnel standing near the unit, as a conse-
quence of leaks, breakages, etc. Do not use it if
your mental capacity, perceptions and reactions
are altered due to substances such as alcohol,
drugs, medicines, etc., or by tiredness or for any
other reason.
The remover has been designed for use at
ambient temperature. Its maximum service tempe-
ratura is 50°C. Although the air temperature of
the compressed air or product is higher, this must
not exceed the maximum average temperature in
the body of the remover.
The use of solvents and/or detergents that
contain halogenated hydrocarbons (trichloroe-
thane, methyl chloride, etc.), may cause chemical
reactions in the unit as well as in its zinc-coated
components (trichloroethane mixed with small
amounts of wáter produces hydrochloric acid).
For this reason, these components may rust and
in extreme cases the chemical reaction caused
may be explosive. We recommend you to use
products that do not contain the aforementioned
components. Do not use acids, soda (alkalis or
pickling substances, etc.) for cleaning under any
circumstances.
Safety standards must be understood and
applied.
Any non-compliance with the indications set out
in this manual may lead to incidents affecting the
physical integrity of the user or other personnel or
animals.
Respect and comply with indications relating to
the conservation of the environment.
Always keep the safety sheets for the products to
apply and the cleaning liquids to hand in case
you need to consult them.
