AIR SPRAY GUNS USED FOR LIQUID PAINTS IN LOW/
MEDIUM PRESSURE APPLICATIONS
This Operating Manual contains the instructions related to the
following models of automatic guns:
* MP = automatic Air spray gun - Medium Pressure version
* HVLP = automatic Air spray gun - HVLP version (High Volume
Low Pressure)
Use genuine parts and accessories only for best
function and safety.
Before starting, read through all instructions carefully.
WARNING
Do not use halogenated hydrocarbons in coating application
equipment where aluminium or galvanized parts come in contact
with the solvent or coating material.
Halogenated hydrocarbons e.g. thrichloroethilene and
methylene chloride react violently with such parts, causing
corrosion and danger for explosion.
The high velocity ow of air and liquids through hoses and
nozzles may develop static electricity. Be sure that the equipment,
object being sprayed, spraybooth, paint and waste
container are properly grounded to prevent static discharge
or sparks.
As the equipment works under pressure all possible cares
must be observed during the work. Bearing this in mind, never
aim the spray gun at a person or towards any part of the body.
In case of personal injury caused by the pressure, immediate
medical attention is essential. Before carrying out any adjustment
or repair, the equipment must be switched o and the paint
pressure released.
NEVER exceed the maximum safe working pressure of the
equipment indicated in this Operating Manual.
The equipment must be used exclusively by skilled and
authorized sta.
CAUTION
Inhalation of paint, paint dust and solvent is not healthy.
Make sure an approved spraybooth is used. The sta must use
personal protection devices in accordance with the regulations in
force, both during work and during maintenance operations.
Read always carefully the classication slips and the
information related to safety and the use of the sprayed product
and follow all the recommendations. If you are not sure, call the
producer of the paint.
Wagner colora Srl would like to remind that a good knowledge of
the equipment will help you to operate it and that a correct use
of the appliance will avoid many problems, thus improving its
eciency and prolonging its lifetime.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For use in environments with danger of explosion.
INTRODUCTION
These safety instructions refer to the installation, use and
maintenance of the equipment for use in areas with presence of
potentially explosive atmospheres.
The equipment that these instructions refer to is equipped with
the following protections against the risk of explosion:
NOTE
These instructions must be complied with in addition to the
general safety warnings previously given.
INSTALLATION
Suitability of the equipment for the place of installation.
If it is used in areas with danger of explosion, you have to verify
that the equipment is suitable for the area’s classication and for
the characteristics of the ammable substances present on the
plant.
The essential safety requirements to prevent risk of explosion in
the classied areas are set out in European directives 94/9/EC of
23 March 1994 (regarding the equipment) and 1999/92/EC of 16
December 1999 (regarding the plants).
The criteria for classifying the areas with risk of explosion are
given in the EN 60079-10-1 standard.
The technical requisites of the electric installations in the
classied areas are given in the EN 60079-14 standard.
Based on these technical and legislative provisions, the choice of
the type of equipment must consider the following factors:
- type of plant: mine (group I), surface plants (group II)
- classication of the area: 0, 1, 2 (for which, equipment of
categories 1, 2 and 3, respectively, are suitable)
- characteristics of the ammable substances present in the form
of gas, vapours or mists
- temperature classes: T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 (denes the ignition
temperature of the gases)
RATING PLATE DATA REGARDING SAFETY
In addition to the functional data, the data shown on the plate

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
EARTHING
The equipment must be put to earth by mechanic xing
(supporting bracket or uid manifold), paying attention that this
connection is not subject to loosening or unscrewing.
Avoid all electrostatic charges on connecting pipes, using a pipe in
conductive material where necessary.
EXOTHERMIC REACTIONS
Fluids incompatible with the equipment’s materials or particularly
reactive mixtures of products with several components may cause
exothermic reactions and develop dangerous temperatures or
pressure. Also check the chemical compatibility of the uid and
materials.
WARNING
Ignition temperature of the coating material.
The maximum surface temperature of the gun depends
essentially on the temperature of the coating material. The gun is
suitable for coating materials with a maximum temperature as in
the technical data table. The ignition temperature of the coating
material must be at least 15K above the working temperature.
Permissible ambient temperature: -20°C to +40°C
Contact with steel or rusty iron.
Mechanical sparks are a source of ignition , which must be
avoided (impacts, blows). Contact with steel or rusty iron, and
working with tools, particularly steel ones, is only permissible if
no explosive atmosphere is present.
Cleaning to maintain the conductive surface.
An essential part of the explosion protection is the continuous
conductivity of the gun. So clean after every use. Surface deposits,
which reduce the conductivity, have to be removed.
