Pressurized Equipment Hazard
Compressed air can inject in skin. Air tubing rupture can cause injury if disconnected while under
pressure. To reduce risk of injury:
• Never exceed maximum working pressure of any attachment.
• Do not direct airstream at body.
• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 10 whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure, stop
spraying, service equipment, install or clean spray nozzle or disconnect or connect hose.
Cleaning Solvent Hazard with Plastic Parts
Use only compatible water-based solvents to clean plastic structural or pressure-containing parts. Many
solvents can degrade plastic parts to the point where they could fail. Such failure could cause serious
injury or property damage. See Technical Data on page 31 of this instruction manual and in all other
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer's warnings.
