Titan Tool LX-80 Owner's Manual

Safety Precautions
This manual contains information that must be read and
understood before using the equipment. When you come to an
area that has one of the following symbols, pay particular
attention and make certain to heed the safeguard.
WARNING
This symbol indicates a potential hazard which may cause
serious injury or loss of life. Important safety information
will follow.
CAUTION
This symbol indicates a potential hazard to you or to the
equipment. Important information that tells how to prevent
damage to the equipment or how to avoid causes of minor
injuries will follow.
NOTE: Notes give important information which should
be given special attention.
WARNING
HAZARD: Injection injury - A high pressure stream
produced by this equipment can pierce the skin
and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury
and possible amputation. See a physician
immediately.
DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT!
Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician
immediately.
The maximum operating range of the gun is 3600
PSI/248BAR fluid pressure.
PREVENTION:
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream.
DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the fluid hose.
• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump off, and
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip or
guard, changing tip, or leaving unattended. Pressure will
not be released by turning off the motor. The
PRIME/SPRAY valve must be turned to PRIME to relieve
the pressure. Refer to the PRESSURE RELIEF
PRESSURE described in the pump manual.
• ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip
guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.
• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning
the system.
• The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and
abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect the
hose before each use.
• NEVER use a spray gun without a trigger lock and trigger
guard in place and in good working order.
• All accessories must be rated at or above 3600 PSI/248
BAR. This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is
important to treat the injury as soon as possible. DO
NOT delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a
concern with some coatings injected directly into the
blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or
reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes
can explode or ignite. Severe injury and/or
property damage can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to keep
the air within the spray area free from accumulation of
flammable vapors.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electric sparks, open
flames, pilot lights, and hot objects. Connecting or
disconnecting power cords or working light switches can
make sparks.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working order.
• Place paint pump at a minimum of 3 feet (preferably more)
into a separate, well ventilated room from the spray object or
at least 20 feet 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 paint pump contains arcing parts that emit
spark and can ignite vapors.
• The equipment and objects in and around the spray area
must be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.
• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hose.
Gun must be grounded through hose connections.
• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.
• Always flush unit into a separate metal container, at low
pump pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly
against side of container to ground container and prevent
static sparks.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's warnings and
instructions.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint
below 70° F (21° C). Flashpoint is the temperature that a
fluid can produce enough vapors to ignite.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose a spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying flammable materials.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
GAS ENGINE (WHERE APPLICABLE)
Always place pump outside of structure in fresh air. Keep all
solvents away from the engine exhaust. Never fill fuel tank with
a running or hot engine. Hot surface can ignite spilled fuel.
Always attach ground wire from pump unit to a grounded object,
such as a metal water pipe. Refer to engine owner's manual for
complete safety information.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS - Will cause severe injury or property
damage. This equipment contains aluminum and
cannot be used with halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as
mildewcide, methylene chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane.
They are not compatible with aluminum.
• Contact your coating supplier about the compatibility of
material with aluminum.
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS - Paints, solvents,
insecticides, and other materials can be harmful if
inhaled or come in contact with the body. Vapors
can cause severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be inhaled. Read all
instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will provide
the necessary protection.
