1.4. Precautions for use

1.4.1. General

The equipment at your disposal is for professional use only. It must be used only for the purpose for

which it was intended or designed.

Read all operating instructions and labels carefully before operating the equipment.

Personnel using this equipment must have been trained in its use.

The workshop manager must ensure that the operators have fully understood all the instructions and

safety rules of this equipment and other elements and accessories of the installation.

Misuse or improper operation can cause serious injury.

Do not modify or transform the equipment. Parts and accessories must only be supplied or approved

exclusively by Sames.

The equipment must be checked periodically. Defective or worn parts must be replaced.

Never exceed the maximum working pressures of the equipment components.

For Airless® SFlow™ gun 275 bar / 4000 psi: maximum working pressure is 275 bar / 4000 psi.

For Airless® SFlow™ gun 470 bar / 6816 psi: maximum working pressure is 470 bar / 6816 psi.

Always respect the laws in force regarding security, fire, electricity of the destination country of the

equipment.

Only use products or solvents that are compatible with the parts in contact with the material (see

material manufacturer’s data sheet).

1.4.2. Safety devices

Safety devices are set up for safe use of the equipment.

The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any bodily injury as well as failures and / or damage to

the equipment resulting from the destruction, hiding or total or partial removal of the safety devices.

1.4.3. Pressure hazards

Safety requires that a pressure relief-air shut-off valve must be installed in the pump motor supply

system to release trapped air when the supply is shut off.

Without that precaution, residual air from the motor may cause the pump to operate and cause a serious

injury.

Also, a fluid drain valve must be installed on the fluid system so that it can be drained (after shutting

off motor air and decompressing it) before any operation on the equipment. Theses valves must remain

closed for the air and opened for the fluid during the intervention.

1.4.4. Fire, explosion, static electricity hazards

Incorrect earthing, insufficient ventilation, flames or sparks can cause an explosion or fire which can lead

to serious injury.

To avoid these risks, especially when using the pumps, it is imperative to:

• connect the equipment, the parts to be treated, the product and cleaning agent canisters to the

ground,

• to ensure a good ventilation,

• keep the work area clean and free of rags, paper, solvents,

• do not operate electrical switches in the presence of vapors or during application,

• stop application immediately in the presence of electrical arcs,

• to store all liquids outside of the work areas,

• use products with the highest possible flash point to avoid any risk of formation of flammable gases

and vapors (consult the safety data sheets of the products),

• equip drums with a lid to reduce the diffusion of gases and vapors in the cabin,

• the use of explosive products or gases is forbidden.

• during assembly and disassembly, transport to and from the site of use and maintenance, there is a risk

of sparking due to friction, blows and friction or due to electrostatic charging. Therefore, make sure that

these risks are eliminated during these work sequences or that you work in a non-explosive atmosphere.

• regularly clean the surface of the gun body and remove any dust or paint layers.

1.4.5. Toxic chemicals hazards

Toxic materials or vapors can cause serious injury through contact with the body, in the eyes, under the

skin, but also by ingestion or inhalation. It is imperative:

• to know the type of material used and the dangers it represents,

• to store the materials to be used in appropriate areas,

• to contain the material used during the application in a container designed for this purpose,

• to dispose the materials in accordance with the legislation of the country where the equipment is used,

• to wear clothing and protection designed for this purpose,

• to wear goggles, hearing, gloves, shoes, coveralls and respiratory masks.

The use of halogenated hydrocarbon solvents and products containing such solvents in the

presence of aluminium or zinc is prohibited.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in an explosion hazard causing serious injury

or death.

• For the assembly of the hoses and the gun: the wearing of PPE is mandatory.

• Tighten to the stop (Hoses and Gun).

1.4.7. Normal stop

To perform a normal stop:

• Use the air regulator to gradually depressurize the pump.

1.5. Warnings

It is imperative that anyone with a pacemaker not use the equipment or enter the projection

area.

Indeed, high voltage can cause the pacemaker to malfunction.

This equipment may be dangerous if not used, disassembled and reassembled in accordance

with the rules specified in this manual and any applicable European Standard or national safety

regulations.

The proper operating of the equipment is guaranteed only with the use of original spare parts

distributed by Sames.

In order to ensure optimum assembly, spare parts should be stored at a temperature close to

their operating temperature. If not, a sufficient waiting time must be observed before

installation, so that all parts are assembled at the same temperature.

1.5.1. Installation rules

Environment

Non-moving equipment must be fixed to the ground by suitable devices (spit, screws, bolts,...) to ensure

its stability during use.

To avoid risks due to static electricity, the equipment and its component must be grounded.

• For pumping equipment (pumps, lifts, chassis...), a 3.3 mm section wire is attached to the equipment.

Use this wire to connect the equipment to the general ’ground’. In the case of severe environments

(insufficient mechanical protection of the earthing wire, vibrations, moving equipment,...) where damage

to the earthing function is likely, the user must replace the 3.3 mm wire supplied, by a device more suited

to its environment (larger wire section, earth braid, fixing by eye lug,...).

• Have a qualified electrician check for ground continuity. If ground continuity is not assured, check the

terminal, wire and grounding point. Never operate the equipment without resolving this problem.

• The gun must be "grounded" through the air hose or fluid hose.

• The materials to be painted must also be ’grounded’ by means of clamps with cables or, if they are

suspended, by means of hooks that must remain clean at all times.

NOTE: all objects in the work area must also be grounded.

• Do not store more flammable materials than necessary inside the work area.

• These materials must be stored in approved, grounded containers.

• Use only grounded metal pails for flushing solvents.

• Cardboard and papers are to be banned.

Danger to personnel if improperly installed.

•The exact delimitation of the zones is the express responsability of the user, depending on the

products used, the environment of the equipment and the condition of use.

•That distance of 1 m / 3.2 ft can be adapted if the analysis conducted by the user requires it.

•Select the pump so that the fluid pressure delivered by the pump is appropriate for the type of gun

selected.

•By means of an high pressure hose, connect the paint fitting on the gun to the pump. Tighten the

fittings firmly.

•The pressure resistance of the hose must be greater than or equal to the pressure delivered by the

pump.

•It is imperative that the gun fluid hose is conductive.
