WARNINGS
SKIN 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 surgical treatment.
Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning,
checking, or servicing equipment.
Cleaning Solvent Hazard with Plastic Parts
Use only compatible water-based solvents to clean plastic structural or pressure-containing parts. Many
solvents can degrade plastic parts to the point where they could fail. Such failure could cause serious
injury or property damage. See Technical Data on page 34 of this instruction manual and in all other
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.

Moving parts can pinch or amputate fingers and other body parts.
Keep clear of moving parts.
