WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause an
extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin
can also cause a serious injury.
D Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate medi-
cal attention.
D Do not point the spray gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
D Do not put hand or fingers over the spray tip.
D Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
D Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray gun.
D Always have the tip guard on the spray gun when spraying.
D Check the gun diffuser operation weekly.
D Be sure the gun trigger safety operates before spraying.
D Lock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 7 whenever you: are instructed to relieve pres-
sure; stop spraying; clean, check, or service the equipment; or install or clean the spray tip.
D Tighten all the fluid connections before operating the equipment.
D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn, damaged, or loose parts immediately.
Permanently coupled hoses cannot be repaired; replace the entire hose.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluids or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the
skin, swallowed, or inhaled.
D Know the specific hazards of the fluid you are using. Read the fluid manufacturer’s warnings.
D Store hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose of hazardous fluid according to all local,
state and national guidelines.
D Wear the appropriate protective clothing, gloves, eyewear and respirator.
RECOIL HAZARD
Due to the very high pressure fluid emitted, a strong recoil action will occur when you trigger this gun.
If you are unprepared, your hand could be forced back toward your body or you could lose your bal-
ance and fall, resulting in serious injury.
