To prevent injury follow these instructions.
S
Do not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified.
S
Do not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, or covers are
intact and automatic interlocks are operating properly. Do not bypass or
disarm any safety devices.
S
Keep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing moving
equipment, shut off the power supply and wait until the equipment
comes to a complete stop. Lock out power and secure the equipment to
prevent unexpected movement.
S
Relieve (bleed off) hydraulic and pneumatic pressure before adjusting or
servicing pressurized systems or components. Disconnect, lock out,
and tag switches before servicing electrical equipment.

While operating manual spray guns, make sure you are grounded.
Wear electrically conductive gloves or a grounding strap connected to
the gun handle or other true earth ground. Do not wear or carry metallic
objects such as jewelry or tools.

If you receive even a slight electrical shock, shut down all electrical or
electrostatic equipment immediately. Do not restart the equipment until
the problem has been identified and corrected.

Obtain and read Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all materials used.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe handling and use of
materials, and use recommended personal protection devices.

To prevent injury, be aware of less-obvious dangers in the workplace
that often cannot be completely eliminated, such as hot surfaces, sharp
edges, energized electrical circuits, and moving parts that cannot be
enclosed or otherwise guarded for practical reasons.

High-Pressure Fluids

High-pressure fluids, unless they are safely contained, are extremely
hazardous. Always relieve fluid pressure before adjusting or servicing high
pressure equipment. A jet of high-pressure fluid can cut like a knife and
cause serious bodily injury, amputation, or death. Fluids penetrating the
skin can also cause toxic poisoning.
If you suffer a fluid injection injury, seek medical care immediately. If
possible, provide a copy of the SDS for the injected fluid to the health care
provider.
