WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire
and explosion:
• Sprayer generates sparks. Do not spray or flush with flammable liquids.
• Use only water-based or oil-based (mineral spirit-type) materials with a flash point greater than
100° F (38° C).
• Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
• Use oil-based material outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor area with a flow of fresh air.
• Do not spray or flush with combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition.
• Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static electricity. Static electricity creates
a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes. Keep sprayer at least 10 cm away from
objects while spraying or flushing.
• Do not smoke in the spray area.
• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray area.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable materials.
• Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvents manufacturer’s
safety instructions.
• Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that
injection occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.
• Do not aim the sprayer at, or spray any person or animal.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any
part of the body.
• Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly.
• Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without nozzle tip guard in place.
• Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spray-
ing, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit and relieving the pressure before remov-
ing the nozzle tip to clean.
• Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off
the unit and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit.

imum of 2000 psi.
