Warnings

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:
•
Do not spray flammable or combustible liquids in a confined area.
•
Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
•
Paint or solvent flowing through the sprayer is able to result in static electricity. Static
electricity creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes.
Reverse spray tip when flushing. The sprayer and all objects in spray area shall be properly
grounded to protect against static discharge, sparks, or shocks.
•
Always connect the grounding cord provided when spraying flammable materials or static
producing oil-based materials. See GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS, page 7.
•
If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately and connect
sprayer to a properly grounded electrical outlet with the ground wire provided.
•
Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near open flame or sources of ignition
such as cigarettes, external motors, and electrical equipment.
•
Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray
area.
•
Do not smoke in the spray area.
•
Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable
materials.
•
Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Safety Data Sheet
(SDS) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and
solvents manufacturer's safety instructions.
•
Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the
event that injection occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.

Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop
leaks with any part of the body.
•
Always use the spray tip guard. Do not spray without spray tip guard in place.

Use caution when cleaning and changing spray tips. In the case where the spray tip clogs
while spraying, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit and relieving
the pressure before removing the spray tip to clean.
