• Never spray closer than 25
S
feet to the compressor! If
possible, locate compressor
H
in separate room. Never
spray into the compressor,
compressor controls or the motor.
• Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of
open flame or near ignition
sources. Motors, electrical
equipment and controls can
cause electrical arcs that will ignite a
flammable gas or vapor. Never store
flammable liquids or gases in the
vicinity of the compressor.
• Do not smoke or eat when spraying
paint, insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
• Keep hose away from sharp objects.
Bursting air hoses may cause injury.
Examine air hoses regularly and
replace if damaged.
• Always work in a clean environment.
To avoid injury or damage to the
workpiece, do not aim the spray gun at
any dust or debris.
• Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children or pets in the work area.
PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Use a face mask/respirator,
non-skid shoes, and
protective clothing when
spraying. Always spray in a well
ventilated area to prevent health and
fire hazards. Refer to Material Safety
Data Sheets (MSDS) of spray material for
details.
Spray Guns
®
•
Always wear eye
protection
•
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide,
combustible gases or any bottled gas
as an air source for the spray gun.
Such gases are capable of explosion
and serious injury to persons.
•
Do not misuse this product. Excessive
exposure to vibration, work in
awkward positions, and repetitive
work motions can cause injury to
hands and arms. Stop using any tool
if discomfort, numbness, tingling, or
pain occur, and consult a physician.
•
Never aim or spray at yourself or
anyone else or serious injury could
occur.
•
Do not spray acids, corrosive
materials, toxic chemicals, fertilizers
or pesticides. Using these materials
could result in death or serious injury.
•
When spraying and cleaning, always
follow the instructions and safety
precautions provided by the material
manufacturer (Refer to MSDS).
•
Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better
control of the spray gun in
unexpected situations.
•
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
the spray gun. Do not use the spray
gun while tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating
the spray gun increases the risk of
injury to persons.

TOOL USE AND CARE
•
Do not use pressure that
exceeds operating pressure
of the spray gun or any of the
parts (hoses, fittings, etc.) in
the painting system.
•
Over pressurizing the spray gun is
able to result in bursting, abnormal
operation, breakage of the spray gun
or serious injury to persons.
•
Always verify prior to using the spray
gun that the air source has been
adjusted to the rated air pressure or
within the rated air-pressure range.
•
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that affects the
spray gun's operation. If damaged, have
the spray gun serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained spray guns. There is a risk of
bursting if the spray gun is damaged.
•
Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure
the trigger is off before connecting to
the air supply. Do not carry the spray
gun with your finger on the trigger or
connect the spray gun to the air supply
with the trigger on.
•
Disconnect the spray gun from the air
source before, changing accessories,
cleaning, servicing or storing the
spray gun. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the spray gun unintentionally.
•
Failure to install appropriate water/
oil removal equipment may result in
damage to machinery or workpiece.
•
Always use a pressure regulator on
the air supply to the spray gun.
