•
Exhaust air containing particles (overspray) must be kept away from the working
area and personnel. In spite of these measures, always wear the regulation
breathing masks and protective overalls when using the gun. Airborne particles
represent a serious health hazard!
•
Always wear hearing protection when using the gun or when in the vicinity of a
gun that is in use. The noise level generated by the spray gun is approx. 85 dB
(A).
•
After carrying out assembly or maintenance work, always ensure that all nuts,
bolts and screw connections have been fully tightened before the gun is used.
•
Use only original replacement parts, since WALTHER can only guarantee safe
and fault-free operation for original parts.
