FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent
fire and explosion:
•
Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
•
Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop
cloths (potential static arc).
•
Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
•
Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.
•
Ground equipment and conductive objects in work area. See Grounding instructions, 309941.
•
Use only conductive hoses.
•
Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.
•
If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment
until you identify and correct the problem.
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 medical attention.
•
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.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.
•
Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.
•
Use only grounded electrical outlets.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords.
•
Ensure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating
area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic
fumes, burns, and hearing loss. This equipment includes but is not limited to:
•
