WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE
SPRAY
CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY.
For
professional
use
only.
Observe
all
warnings.
Read
and
understand
all
instruction
manuals
before
operating
equipment.
FLUID INJECTION HAZARD
General
Safety
This equipment generates very high fluid pressure. Spray from
the gun,
leaks or ruptured components
can
inject fluid
through your skin and into your body and
cause
extremely
serious bodily injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid
injected or splashed into the
eyes
or on the skin can cause
serious damage.
NEVER
point the spray gun at anyone or at any part
of
the
body.
NEVER
put hand or fingers over the spray tip.
NEVER
try
to
"blow
back"
paint; this
is
NOT
an
air spray system.
ALWAYS have the tip guard on the spray
gu
n when spraying.
ALWAYS
follow
the Pressure Relief Procedure, below,
before cleaning or removing the spray tip or servicing any
system equipment.
NEVER
try
to
stop or deflect leaks with your hand
or
body.
Be
sure equipment safety devices
are
operating properly
before each use.
Medical
Alert-Airless
Spray
Wound
If
any fluid appears
to
penetrate your skin, get EMERGENCY
MEDICAL
CARE
AT
ONCE. DO
NOT
TREAT
AS
A
SIMPLE CUT. Tell the doctor exactly what fluid was injected.
Note
to
Phys/cilln:
Injection in the skin is a traumatic injury.
It
is
important
to
treat
the
injury
surgically
8S
soon
as
possible.
Do
not
delay treatment to research toxicity. Tox-
icity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected directly
into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or
reconstructive hand surgeon
may
be
advisable.
Spray Gun
Safety
Devices
Be
sure all gun safety devices
are
operating properly before
each
use.
Do
not
remove or modify any part
of
the gun; this
can cause a malfunction and
result in serious bodily injury.
Pressure
Relief
Procedure
Safety Latch
Whenever you stop spraying,
even
for a moment, always set
the gun safety
latch
in
the closed or
"safe"
position, making
the gun inoperative.
Failure to set the safety latch
can
result in
accidental triggering
of
the gun.
Diffuser
The gun diffuser breaks up spray and reduces the risk
of
fluid
injection when the tip
is
not
installed. Check diffuser operation
regularly. Follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure,
below,
then remove the spray tip. Aim the gun into a metal pail,
holding
the gun firmly to the pail. Using the lowest possible
pressure, trigger the gun.
If
the fluid emitted is
not
diffused in-
to
an
irregular stream, replace the diffuser immediately.
Tip
Guard
ALWAYS
have the tip guard
in
place on the spray gun while
spraying. The tip guard alerts you
to
the fluid injection hazard
and
helps reduce, but does not prevent, accidentally placing
your fingers
or
any part
of
your body close
to
the spray tip.
Trigger Guard
Always have the trigger guard in place on the gun when spray-
ing
to
reduce the risk
of
accidentally triggering the gun
if
it
is
dropped or bumped.
Spray
Tip
Safety
Use
extreme caution when cleaning or changing spray tips. If
the spray tip clogs while spraying, engage the gun safety latch
immediately.
ALWAYS
follow the Pressure
Relief
Pro-
cedure
and then remove the spray tip
to
clean it.
NEVER
wipe
off
build-up around the spray tip until pressure
is
fully relieved
and
the gun safety latch is engaged.
To reduce the risk
of
serious bodily injury, including fluid injection, splashing in the
eyes
or on the skin, or injury from moving
parts,
always follow this procedure whenever you shut
off
the sprayer, when checking or servicing any part
of
the spray system,
when
installing, cleaning or changing spray tips, and whenever you stop spraying.
(1)
Engage the gun safety latch.
(2)
Open the
bypass
valve.
(3)
Depress the engine stop button.
(4)
Close the fuel shutoff valve.
(5)
Disengage the gun safety latch and hold a
metal part
of
the gun firmly
to
the side of-a grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun
to
relieve pressure.
(6)
Engage the gun safe-
ty
latch. (7) Open the drain valve, having a container ready
to
catch the drainage.
(8)
Leave
the drain valve open until you
are
ready to spray again.
If
you
suspect
that the spray tip or hose is completely clogged, or that pressure has
not
been
fully
relieved after following the
steps above,
VERY SLOWLY loosen the tip guard retaining
nut
or hose end coupling and relieve pressure gradually, then loosen
completely.
Now
clear the tip
or
hose.
