4.2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR STAFF

Always follow the information in this manual, particularly the general safety instructions
and the warning instructions.
Always follow local regulations concerning occupational safety and accident
prevention.
Anyone fitted with a pacemaker must not enter the high-voltage area!
4.2.1 SAFE HANDLING OF WAGNER SPRAY DEVICES
The spray jet is under pressure and can cause dangerous injuries.
Avoid injection of paint or flushing agents:
Never point the spray gun at people.
Never reach into the spray jet.
Before all work on the device, in the event of work interruptions and functional faults:
- Switch off the energy/compressed air supply.
- Relieve the pressure from the spray gun and device.
- Secure the spray gun against actuation.
- In the event of functional faults, remedy the fault as described in the "Troubleshooting"
chapter.
If necessary, or at least every 12 months, the liquid ejection devices should be checked
by an expert (e.g. Wagner service technician) to ensure their safe operational condition
in accordance with the guidelines for liquid ejection devices (ZH 1/406 and BGR 500
Part 2 Chapter 2.29 and 2.36).

Consult a doctor immediately.
Avoid risk of injury from recoil forces:

Ensure that you have ﬁrm footing when operating the spray gun.
Only hold the spray gun briefly in a position.
15
VM 500
OPERATING MANUAL
4.2.2 GROUNDING THE DEVICE
Friction, flowing liquids and air or electrostatic coating processes create charges. Flames or
sparks can form during discharge. Grounding prevents electrostatic charging.
Ensure that the device is grounded. See chapter "Grounding".
Ground the work pieces to be coated.
Ensure that all persons inside the working area are grounded, e.g., that they are wearing
static dissipative shoes.
Wear static dissipative gloves when spraying. The grounding takes place via the spray
gun handle.
The spray substance supply (spray substance tank, pump, etc.) must be grounded.
4.2.3 MATERIAL HOSES

Ensure that the hose material is chemically resistant to the sprayed products and the
flushing agents used.
Ensure that the product hose is suitable for the pressure generated.
Ensure that the following information can be seen on the high pressure hose:
- Manufacturer
- Permissible operating pressure
- Date of manufacture
Make sure that the hoses are laid only in suitable places. Hoses should not be laid in the
following places under any circumstances:
- In high-trafﬁc areas
- At sharp edges
- On moving parts
- On hot surfaces
Ensure that the hoses are never run over by vehicles (e.g. fork lifts), or that the hoses are
never put under pressure from the outside in any other way.
Ensure that the hoses are never kinked. Observe maximum bending radii.
Make sure that the hoses are never used to pull or move the equipment.
Suction hoses may not be subjected to pressure.
Several liquids have a high expansion coefficient. In some cases their volume can rise with
consequent damage to pipes, fittings, etc. and cause fluid leakage.
When the pump sucks liquid from a closed tank, ensure that air or a suitable gas can enter
the tank. Thus a negative pressure is avoided. The vacuum could implode the container
(squeeze) and can cause it to break. The container would leak and the liquid would flow
out.
The pressure created by the pump is a multiplication of the inlet air pressure.
16
VM 500
OPERATING MANUAL
4.2.4 CLEANING AND FLUSHING
Relieve the pressure from the device.

De-energize the device electrically.
Preference should be given to non-flammable cleaning and flushing agents.
Observe the specifications of the paint manufacturer.
Ensure that the flash point of the cleaning agent is at least 15 K above the ambient
temperature or that cleaning is undertaken at a cleaning station with technical
ventilation.
Take measures for workplace safety (see Chapter 4.1.3).
When commissioning or emptying the device, please note that an explosive mixture
may temporarily exist inside the lines and components of equipment:
- depending on the coating product used,
- depending on the flushing agent (solvent) used,
explosive mixture inside the lines and items of equipment.
Only electrically conductive tanks may be used for cleaning and flushing agents.
The containers must be grounded.
An explosive gas/air mixture forms in closed containers.
Never spray into a closed tank when using solvents for flushing.
External cleaning
When cleaning the exterior of the device or its parts, also observe the following:
Disconnect the pneumatic supply line.
Use only moistened cloths and brushes. Never use abrasive agents or hard objects and
never spray cleaning agents with a gun. Cleaning the device must not damage it in any
way.
Ensure that no electrical component is cleaned with nor even immersed into solvent.
Which cleaning agent is used to clean the spray gun depends on which parts of the
spray gun have to be cleaned and which product has to be removed. When cleaning the
spray gun, only use non-polar cleaning agents to prevent conductive residues on the
surface of the spray gun. Should it however, be necessary to use a polar cleaning agent,
all residues of this cleaning agent have to be removed by using a non-conductive and
non-polar cleaning agent, once the cleaning is finished.
4.2.5 HANDLING HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS, VARNISHES AND PAINTS
When preparing or working with lacquer and when cleaning the device, follow the
working instructions of the manufacturer of the lacquers, solvents and cleaning agents
being used.
Take the specified protective measures, in particular wear safety goggles, protective
clothing and gloves, as well as skin protection cream if necessary.
Use a mask or breathing apparatus if necessary.

VM 500
OPERATING MANUAL
5 DESCRIPTION
5.1 DESIGN
The VM 500 control unit, together with the matching GM 5000EA or GM 5000EAC spray
gun and other components, form an electrostatic manual spray system. An example of this
kind of spraying system can be found in Chapter 6.7.
5.2 MODE OF OPERATION
The VM 500 control unit supplies the control voltage for the spray gun, in which high-
voltage is subsequently produced. The high-voltage supply is switched on and off via the
trigger of the spray gun.
The special linear characteristic for high voltage ensures that if the spray gun is brought too
close to the work piece (or ground), the high voltage is reduced automatically to prevent
an accidental spark discharge.
The VM 500 control unit also offers a fault display.

sale, in particular faulty design, defective materials or poor workmanship.
The type of warranty provided is such that the device or individual components of the
device are either replaced or repaired as we see fit. The resulting costs, in particular
shipping charges, road tolls, labour and material costs will be borne by us except where
these costs are increased due to the subsequent shipment of the device to a location other
than the address of the purchaser.
We do not provide warranty for damage that has been caused or contributed to for the
following reasons:
Unsuitable or improper use, faulty assembly or commissioning by the purchaser or a
third party, normal wear, negligent handling, defective maintenance, unsuitable coating
products, substitute products and the influence of chemical, electrochemical or electrical
agents, except when the damage is attributable to us.
Abrasive coating products such as red lead, emulsions, glazes, liquid abrasives, zinc dust
paints and so forth reduce the service life of valves, packings, spray guns, nozzles, cylinders,
pistons etc. Signs of wear traced back to these products are not covered by this warranty.
Components that have not been manufactured by WAGNER are subject to the original
warranty of the manufacturer.
Replacement of a component does not extend the period of warranty of the device.
The device should be inspected immediately upon receipt. To avoid losing the warranty,
we or the supplier company are to be informed in writing about obvious faults within
14 days upon receipt of the device.
We reserve the right to have the warranty compliance met by a contracting company.
The services provided by this warranty are dependent on evidence being provided in the
form of an invoice or delivery note. If the examination discovers that no warranty claim
exists, the costs of repairs are charged to the purchaser.
It is clearly stipulated that this warranty claim does not represent any constraint on statutory
regulations or regulations agreed to contractually in our general terms and conditions.
