SAFETY WARNINGS

HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE EXTREMELY SERIOUS INJURY.
The prime valve, and most airless guns have aluminum parts and may explode. Cleaning agents, coatings, paints or adhesives
may contain halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. DON'T TAKE CHANCES! Consult your material suppliers to be sure. Some of
the most common of these solvents are: Carbontetrachloride, Chlorobenzene, Dichloroethane, Dichloroethyl Ether,
Ethylbromide, Ethylchloride, Tethrachloethane. Alternate valves and guns are available if you need to use these solvents.
