Warning!
Attention: Danger of injury by injection!
Never put your ngers, hands or any other parts of the body into
the spray jet!
Never point the spray gun at yourself, other persons or animals.
Never use the spray gun without safety guard.
Do not treat a spraying injury as a harmless cut. In case of injury
to the skin through coating materials or solvents, consult a doctor
immediately for quick and expert treatment. Inform the doctor
about the coating material or solvent used.

The operating instructions state that the following points must
always be observed before starting up:
1. Faulty units must not be used.
2. Secure spray gun using the safety catch on the trigger.
3. Ensure that the unit is properly earthed.
4. Check allowable operating pressure of high-pressure hose set and spray
gun.
5. Check all connections for leaks.
The instructions regarding regular cleaning and maintenance of
the unit must be strictly observed.
Before any work is done on the unit or for every break in work the
following rules must be observed:
1. Release the pressure from spray gun and hose.
2. Secure the spray gun using the safety catch on the trigger.
3. Switch o unit.
4. Unplug the power cord from the unit.
Be safety conscious!

1 SAFETY REGULATIONS
HELIX
1.1
This manual contains information that must be read and
understood before using the equipment. When you come to
an area that has one of the following symbols, pay particular
attention and make certain to heed the safeguard.
EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS USED
This symbol indicates a potential hazard
that may cause serious injury or loss of life.
Important safety information will follow.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard
to you or to the equipment. Important
tention
information that tells how to prevent
damage to the equipment or how to avoid
causes of minor injuries will follow.
Danger of skin injection
Danger of re from solvent and spray fumes
Danger of explosion from solvent, spray
fumes and incompatible materials
Danger of injury from inhalation of harmful
vapors
HAZARD: INJECTION INJURY
Attention: Danger of injury by injection! A high
pressure stream produced by this equipment can
pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to
serious injury and possible amputation.
Do not treat a spraying injury as a harmless cut. In
case of injury to the skin through coating materials
about the coating material or solvent used.
PREVENTION:
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the uid stream.
DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the uid hose.
• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the uid pump o
and release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip
guard, changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure
will not be released by turning o the engine. The PRIME/
SPRAY valve(s) or pressure bleed valve must be turned to
their appropriate positions to relieve system pressure.
• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum
operating pressure range of the sprayer. This includes
guns, extensions, and hose.
Danger of injury from burns
Danger of injury from electric shock
Notes give important information which
should be given special attention.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and material fumes can explode or ignite.
Severe injury and/or property damage can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use materials with a ashpoint below 38° C (100° F).
Flashpoint is the temperature at which a uid can produce
enough vapors to ignite.
• Do not use a material 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.
• 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 ammable vapors.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks,
electrical appliances, ames, pilot lights, hot objects, and

sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or
working light switches.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Place sprayer sucient distance from the spray object in a
well ventilated area. 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.
PREVENTION:
• To avoid severe burns and injury, do not touch heated uid
or equipment. Wait until the equipment has completely
cooled.
HAZARD: BURN HAZARD
Certain components of the equipment are heated
and become hot during operation.
• Use only conductive or earthed high pressure uid hose.
Gun must be earthed through hose connections.
HAZARD: THERMAL EXPANSION
• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit
(electric units only).
• Follow material and solvent manufacturer’s warnings and
instructions. Be familiar with the coating material’s SDS
sheet and technical information to ensure safe use.
• Use lowest possible pressure to ush 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.
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS
PREVENTION:
• During system heating, make sure PRIME/SPRAY valves are
set to SPRAY.
• 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 spray hose. Replace it with
another earthed high-pressure hose.
can lead to a rupture and serious injury.
can cause severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Wear respiratory protection when spraying. Read all
instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will
provide the necessary protection.
• All local regulations regarding protection against
hazardous vapors must be observed.
• Wear protective eyewear.
• Protective clothing, gloves and possibly skin protection
cream are necessary for the protection of the skin. Observe
the regulations of the manufacturer concerning coating
materials, solvents and cleaning agents in preparation,
processing and cleaning units.

HAZARD
kinking and abuse. A leak can inject material into
the skin. Inspect the hose before each use.
PREVENTION:
: HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
• High-pressure hoses must be checked thoroughly before
they are used.
• Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately.
• Never repair defective high-pressure hoses yourself!
• Avoid sharp bends and folds: the smallest bending radius
is about 20 cm.
• Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against
sharp objects and edges.
• Never pull on the high-pressure hose to move the device.
• Do not twist the high-pressure hose.
• Use only compatible cleaning solutions.
• Lay the high-pressure hose in such a way as to ensure that
it cannot be tripped over.
Only use approved original-high-pressure hoses
in order to ensure functionality, safety and
durability.
