Symbols / When you see a symbol in the manual, for example , refer to the WARNINGS (pages 5–7). WARNING PRESSURIZED FLUID HAZARD Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can splash fluid in the eyes or on the skin and cause serious injury. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure (page 7) when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing the equipment.
Page 6
WARNING EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD Equipment misuse can cause the equipment to rupture, mal- function, or start unexpectedly and result in a serious injury. Read all instruction manuals, tags, and labels before operating the equipment. Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the lowest rated system component.
WARNING FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD Improper grounding, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in fire or explosion and serious injury. Ground the equipment, the object being sprayed, and all other electrically conductive objects in the spray area. See Grounding (page 13).
