Safety Precautions - Titan IMPACT 410 Owner's Manual

Important Safety Information
Read all safety information before operating the
equipment. Save these instructions.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
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.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper installation of the grounding plug
can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect
the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with
insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is
the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as
to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make sure that the product
is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No
adapter should be used with this product.

IMPORTANT: When the sprayer is used with a generator
or uncontrolled line voltage, the use of Titan's "Line Surge
Protector" (P/N 800-935) is recommended.
WARNING: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite. Property
damage and/or severe injury can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open
flame, pilot lights or sources of ignition such as hot objects,
cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment and electrical appliances.
Avoid creating sparks from connecting and disconnecting power
cords.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint
below 100ºF (38ºC). Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid can
produce enough vapors to ignite.
• Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result
in static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of fire or
explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes. All parts
of the spray system, including the pump, hose assembly, spray
gun and objects in and around the spray area shall be properly
grounded to protect against static discharge and sparks. Use only
English
conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses
specified by the manufacturer.
• Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to
prevent static discharge.
• Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension cords
(electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
• Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide, methylene
chloride and trichloroethane. They are not compatible with
aluminum. Contact the coating supplier about compatibility of
material with aluminum.
• Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air
moving through the area to keep the air within the spray area free
from accumulation of flammable vapors. Keep pump assembly in
well ventilated area. Do not spray pump assembly.
• Do not smoke in the spray area.
• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing
products in the spray area.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and
other flammable materials.
• Know the contents of the paint and solvents being sprayed.
Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and container labels
provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and
solvent manufacture's safety instructions.
• Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) from the spray object in
a well ventilated area (add more hose if necessary). Flammable
vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area must be extremely
well ventilated. The pump contains arcing parts that emit sparks
and can ignite vapors.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to enclose spray
area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when spraying flammable
material.
• Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
WARNING: INJECTION INJURY
A high pressure paint stream produced by this equipment
can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to
serious injury and possible amputation. See a physician
immediately.
PREVENTION:
• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For
example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the body.
• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide
protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip guard
provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.
• Only use a nozzle tip specified by the manufacturer.
• Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the
case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying, ALWAYS lock
gun trigger, shut pump off, and release all pressure before
servicing, cleaning tip or guard, or changing tip. Pressure will
not be released by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY
valve or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate
positions to relieve system pressure. Refer to PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE described in the pump manual.
• Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while
unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the unit and
relieve the pressure in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
• High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and
cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection occurs,
seek medical attention immediately.
• Check hoses and parts for signs of damage, a leak can inject
material into the skin. Inspect hose before each use. Replace any
damaged hoses or parts.
hoses in order to ensure functionality, safety and durability.
