1. SAFTY WARNINGS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS
WARNING – When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
a) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS-To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock and
injury to persons, read and understand all instructions included in this manual. Be familiar with
the controls and the proper usage of the equipment.
b) WARNING-To reduce the risk of fire of explosion:
1) Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition such
as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
2) For units intended for use with only water-based materials-Do not spray or clean with flammable
liquids. For use with water-based liquids only.
3) For units intended for use with only water-based or mineral spirit-type materials with a minimum
flash point of 21C°(69.8 F°) Do not spray on clean with liquids having a flash point less than
21C°(69.8 F°)
4) 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 assemble, spray gun, and objects in and around the
spray area shall be properly grounded to protect against static discharge and sparks. Use only
conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses specified by the
manufacturer.
5) Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge.
6) Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension cords. Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
7) Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons. See operating
instructions for examples of these types of materials.
8) Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area. Keep
pump assembly in a well ventilated area. Do not spray pump assembly.
9) Do not smoke in the spray area.
10)Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray area.
11)Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable materials.
12)Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Material safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and
solvent manufacturer's safety instructions.
13)Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
c) WARNING-To reduce the risk of skin injection.
1) Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
2) Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop
leaks with any part of the body.
3) Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without nozzle tip guard in place.
4) Only use a nozzle tip specified by the manufacturer.
5) Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs
while spraying, follow the manufacturer's instructions for turning off the unit and relieving the
pressure before removing the nozzle tip to clean.
6) 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.
7) 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.
8) Check hose and parts for signs of damage. Replace and damaged hoses of parts.
