TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled or
swallowed.
• Read Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for handling instructions and to know the specific hazards of the
fluids you are using, including the effects of long-term exposure.
• When spraying, servicing equipment, or when in the work area, always keep work area
well-ventilated and always wear appropriate personal protective equipment. See Personal
Protective Equipment warnings in this manual.
• Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment and cover all skin when spraying, servicing
equipment, or when in the work area. Protective equipment helps prevent serious injury, including
long-term exposure; inhalation of toxic fumes, mists or vapors; allergic reaction; burns; eye injury and
hearing loss. This protective equipment includes but is not limited to:
• A properly fitting respirator, which may include a supplied-air respirator, chemically impermeable
gloves, protective clothing and foot coverings as recommended by the fluid manufacturer and local
regulatory authority.
• Protective eyewear and hearing protection.
SKIN 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 surgical treatment.
• Engage safety lock when not spraying.
• 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.
