To reduce the risks of fire or explosion,
electrical shock
and the injury to persons, read and understand all
instructions included in this manual. Be familiar with the
controls
and proper usage of the equipment.
indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not
avoided,
could result in death or serious
injury.
HAZARD:
INJECTION
INJURY
A high pressure paint stream produced by this
W ÷
equipment can pierce the skin and underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation.
See a physician immediately.
DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION
INJURY AS A
SIMPLE CUT! Injection
can lead to amputation.
See
a physician immediately.
The maximum operating range of the gun is 2800
PSi/193 BAR fluid pressure.
PREVENTION:
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or
animal.
• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid
stream. DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the
fluid hose.
• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves
will not provide protection against an injection
injury.
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump
off, and release all pressure before servicing,
cleaning the tip or guard, changing tip, or leaving
unattended.
Pressure will not be released by
turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY
knob
must be turned to PRIME to relieve the pressure.
Refer to the Pressure Relief Procedure (page 7)
described in the pump manual.
• ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while
spraying. The tip guard provides some protection
but is mainly a warning device.
• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or
cleaning the system.
• Paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking
and abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin.
Inspect the hose before each use. Do not use hose
to lift or pull equipment.
• NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger
lock and trigger guard in place.
• All accessories must be rated at or above 2800
PSl/193 BAR. This includes spray tips, guns,
extensions, and hose.
HAZARD:
HAZARDOUS
VAPORS
,_
Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other
I_ll
materials can be harmful if inhaled or come
in contact with the body. Vapors can cause severe
nausea, fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be
inhaled. Read all instructions supplied with
the mask to be sure it will provide the necessary
protection.
• Wear protective eye wear.
• Wear protective clothing as required by coating
manufacturer.
HAZARD:
EXPLOSION OR FiRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.
Property damage and/or severe injury can
occur.
PREVENTION:
• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air
introduction to keep the air within the spray
area free from accumulation of flammable vapors.
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.
• Do not spray in a confined area.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electric
sparks, open flames, pilot lights, electrical
appliances, and hot objects.
Connecting or
disconnecting power cords or working light
switches can make sparks.
Paint or solvent flowing
through the equipment is able to result in static
electricity.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good
working order.
• Place paint pump in a well-ventilated area away
from the spray object. Flammable vapors are often
heavier than air. Floor area must be extremely welt
ventilated.
• The equipment and objects in and around the spray
area must be properly grounded to prevent static
sparks.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent
containers, rags and other flammable materials.
• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure
fluid hose. Gun must be grounded through hose
connections.
• Power cord must be connected to a grounded
circuit.
• Always flush unit into a separate metal container,
at low pump pressure, with spray tip removed.
Hold gun firmly against side of container to ground
container and prevent static sparks.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's
warnings and instructions.
Know the contents of
the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and container
labels provided with the paints and solvents.
Follow the paint and solvent manufacturer's
safety
instructions.
• This product may be used only with water-based
materials or materials with a minimum flash point of
70°F (21°C) for spraying or cleaning. Do not spray
or clean with materials having a flash point less
than 70°F (21°C), such as solvent based lacquers,
enamels, and/or stain blockers. Flash point is the
temperature at which a fluid can produce enough
vapors to ignite.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic
to enclose a spray area. Do not use plastic drop
cloths when spraying flammable materials.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
• Do not spray onto pump assembly.
HAZARD:
EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO
&_j'
INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS
Will cause property damage or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents such
as bleach, mildewcide, methylene chloride and
1,1,1 - trichtoroethane.
They are not compatible
with aluminum.
• Contact your coating supplier about the
compatibility of material with aluminum.
