WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just
a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation.
Get immediate medical attention.
• Do not point the gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put your hand or fingers over the gun fluid nozzle.
• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.
•Follow
Pressure Relief Procedure
, page 6, when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking,
or servicing equipment.
• Use lowest possible pressure when flushing, priming, or troubleshooting.
• Never spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
• Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. High pres-
sure hose cannot be recoupled; replace the entire hose.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Solvent and paint fumes in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:
• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as pilot lights, cigarettes and plastic drop cloths (potential static
arc).
• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.
• Keep the work area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
• Ground equipment and conductive objects. See
Grounding
, page 5.
• Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.
• Use only grounded hoses.
• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock,
stop operation immediately.
Do not use equipment
until you identify and correct the problem.
