Read and understand all instruction manuals before operating equipment.
FLUID INJECTION HAZARD
General Safety
This equipment generates very high fluid pressure. Spray from the
gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid through your
skin and into your body and cause extremely serious bodily injury,
including the need for amputation. Also, fluid injected or splashed
into the eyes or on the skin can cause serious damage.
NEVER point the spray gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
NEVER put hand or fingers over the spray tip. NEVER try to "blow
back" paint; this is NOT an air spray system.
ALWAYS have the tip guard in place on the spray gun when spray-
ing.
ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, below, before
cleaning or removing the spray tip or servicing any system equip-
ment.
NEVER try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body.
Be sure equipment safety devices are operating properly before
each use.
Medical Alert––Airless Spray Wounds
If any fluid appears to penetrate your skin, get EMERGENCY
MEDICAL CARE AT ONCE. DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE
CUT. Tell the doctor exactly what fluid was injected.

Spray Gun Safety Devices
Be sure all gun safety devices are operating properly before each
use. Do not remove or modify any part of the gun; this can cause
a malfunction and result in serious bodily injury.
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including fluid in-
jection, splashing fluid or solvent in the eyes or on the skin,
or injury from moving parts or electric shock, always follow
this procedure whenever you shut of f the sprayer , when
checking or servicing any part of the spray system, when in-
stalling, cleaning or changing spray tips, and whenever you
stop spraying.
1.
Engage the gun safety latch.
2.
Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
3.
Unplug the power supply cord.

SAFETY WARNINGS
HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY. OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS
Safety Latch
Whenever you stop spraying, even for a moment, always set the
gun safety latch in the closed or "safe" position, making the gun in-
operative. Failure to set the safety latch can result in accidental trig-
gering of the gun.
Diffuser
The gun diffuser breaks up spray and reduces the risk of fluid injec-
tion when the tip is not installed. Check diffuser operation regularly.
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, below, then remove the
spray tip. Aim the gun into a metal pail, holding the gun firmly to the
pail. Using the lowest possible pressure, trigger the gun. If the fluid
emitted i s n ot diffused into an irregular stream, replace the diffuser
immediately.
Tip Guard
ALWAYS have the tip guard in place on the spray gun while spray-
ing. The tip guard alerts you to the fluid injection hazard and helps
reduce, but does not prevent, the risk of accidentally placing your
fingers or any part of your body close to the spray tip.
Trigger Guard
Always have the trigger guard in place on the gun when spraying
to reduce the risk of accidentally triggering the gun if it is dropped
or bumped.
Spray Tip Safety
Use extreme caution when cleaning or changing spray tips. If the
spray tip clogs while spraying, engage the gun safety latch imme-
diately. ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure and then
remove the spray tip to clean it.
NEVER wipe off build–up around the spray tip until pressure is fully
relieved and the gun safety latch is engaged.
4.
Disengage the gun safety latch. Hold a metal part of the
gun firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, and trig-
ger the gun to relieve pressure.
5.
Engage the gun safety latch.
6.
Open the pressure drain valve, having a container
ready to catch the drainage. Leave the valve open until
you are ready to spray again.
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely
clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved after fol -
lowing the steps above, wrap a rag around the tip guard re-
taining nut or hose end coupling and VERY SLOWLY loosen
the part to relieve pressure gradually , then loosen com-
pletely. Now clear the tip or hose.
