Spray from the spray gun, hose leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and
cause extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Splashing fluid in the eyes or on the

Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate medi-
cal attention.
Do not point the spray gun at anyone or any part of the body.
Do not put hand or fingers over the spray tip.
Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
Do not "blow back" fluid; this is not an air spray system.

when spraying.
Check the spray gun diffuser (if so equipped) operation weekly. Refer to the gun manual.
Be sure the spray gun safety knob operates before operating the gun.
