manufacturer and that are rated a minimum of 3300 PSI. This
includes spray tips, nozzle guards, guns, extensions, fittings, and
hoses.
•
Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the
trigger lock is functioning properly.
•
Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit.
•
Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be
thoroughly familiar with the controls. Pressure will not be released
by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure
bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate positions to relieve
system pressure. Refer to PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described
in the pump manual.
•
Always remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the system.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Injection into the skin is
a traumatic injury which can lead to possible
amputation. It is important to treat the injury
as soon as possible. DO NOT delay treatment
to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with
some coatings injected directly into the blood
stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or
reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.
WARNING: HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking
and abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin.
Inspect the hose before each use.
PREVENTION:
•
Avoid sharp bending or kinking of the high-pressure hose. The
smallest bending radius amounts to about 8" (20 cm).
•
Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against sharp
objects and edges.
•
Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately.
•
Never repair damaged high-pressure hoses yourself!
•
Electrostatic charging of spray guns and the high-pressure hose
is discharged through the high-pressure hose. For this reason the
electric resistance between the connections of the high-pressure
hose must be equal to or lower than 1MΩ.
•
For reasons of function, safety and durability use only original Titan
high-pressure hoses.
•
Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or
bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of couplings.
Immediately replace the hose if any of these conditions exist.
Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with another earthed high-
pressure hose.
•
Make sure power cord, air hose and spray hoses are routed in such
a manner to minimize slip, trip and fall hazard.
WARNING: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Flammable vapors, such as solvent and paint vapors, in
work area can ignite or explode.
PREVENTION:
•
Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open
flame, pilot lights or sources of ignition such as hot objects,
cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment and electrical appliances.
Avoid creating sparks from connecting and disconnecting power
cords.
•
Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint below
100ºF (38ºC). Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid can produce
enough vapors to ignite.
•
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. All parts of the spray
system, including the pump, hose assembly, spray gun and
objects in and around the spray area shall be properly grounded
to protect against static discharge and sparks. Use only conductive
or grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses specified by
the manufacturer.
•
Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to
prevent static discharge.
•
Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide, methylene chloride and
trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum.
Contact the coating supplier about compatibility of material with
aluminum.
•
Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air
moving through the area to keep the air within the spray area free
from accumulation of flammable vapors. Keep pump assembly in
well ventilated area. Do not spray pump assembly.
•
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 paint and solvents being sprayed. Read
all material Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and container labels provided
with the paints and solvents.
manufacture's safety instructions.
•
Place pump at least 20 feet (6.1 meters) from the spray object in
a well ventilated area (add more hose if necessary). Flammable
vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area must be extremely well
ventilated. The pump contains arcing parts that emit sparks and
can ignite vapors.
•
Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to enclose spray
area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when spraying flammable
material.
•
Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VAPORS
Paints, solvents, and other materials can be harmful
if inhaled or come in contact with body. Vapors can
cause severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:
•
Wear respiratory protection when spraying. Read all instructions
supplied with the mask to be sure it will provide the necessary
protection.
