SAFETY HAZARDS

WARNING: INJECTION INJURY
A high pressure stream produced by this
equipment can pierce the skin and underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation.
Do not treat a spraying injury as a harmless cut. In
case of injury to the skin through coating materials
or solvents, consult a doctor immediately for
quick and expert treatment. Inform the doctor
about the coating material or solvent used.
The maximum operating pressure of the spray
gun is 3600 PSI / 24.8 MPa fluid pressure.
PREVENTION:
•
NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
•
Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
•
NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream.
DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the fluid hose.
•
NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
•
ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump off, and
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip or
guard, changing tip, or leaving unattended. 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 the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described in
this manual.
•
ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip
guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning
device.
•
ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning
the system.
•
Paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse.
A leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect the hose
before each use. Do not use hose to lift or pull equipment.
•
NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and
trigger guard in place.
•
All accessories must be rated at or above 2800 PSI / 19 MPa.
This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
•
Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while
unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the unit
and relieve the pressure in accordance with the PRESSURE
RELIEF PROCEDURE described in this manual.
•
Verify that all connections are secure before operating the
unit. Unsecured parts may eject at great force or leak a
high pressure fluid stream causing severe injury.
