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. Also,
fluid injected or splashed into the eyes or onto the skin can
cause serious damage.
NEVER point the spray gun at anyone or 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.
