High Pressure Spray Can Cause Serious Injury. For Professional Use Only.
Observe All Warnings. Read and understand all instruction manuals before operating equipment.
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
spraying.
ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, below, be-
fore cleaning or removing the spray tip or servicing any sys-
tem equipment.
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.
Note to Physician : Injection in the skin is a traumatic in -
jury . It is important to treat the injury surgically as soon as
possible. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity .
Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected
directly into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic
surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable .
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
injection, 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 off the sprayer,
when checking or servicing any part of the spray system,
when installing, cleaning or changing spray tips, and when-
ever you stop spraying.
1. Engage the gun safety latch.
2. Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
3. Unplug the power supply cord.

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 inoperative. Failure to set the safety latch can result
in accidental triggering of the gun.
Diffuser
The gun diffuser breaks up spray and reduces the risk of fluid
injection 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, hold-
ing the gun firmly to the pail. Using the lowest possible pres-
sure, trigger the gun. If the fluid emitted is not diffused into an
irregular stream, replace the diffuser immediately.
Tip Guard
ALWAYS have the tip guard in place on the spray gun while
spraying. The tip guard alerts you to the fluid injection hazard
and helps reduce, but does not prevent, the risk of acciden-
tally 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 immediately. ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Pro-
cedure 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
following the steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen the tip
guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve pres-
sure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear the tip or
hose.
