FLUID INJECTION HAZARD
General S a f e t y
This equipment generates very high fluid pressure. Spray from
the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid
through your skin and into your body and cause extremely
serious bodily injury, including the need for amputation. Also,
fluid injected or splashed into the eyes or onto the skin can
cause serious damage.
NEVER point the spray gun at anyone or any part of the body.
NEVER put hand or fingers over the spray tip. NEVER try to
"blow back" paint; this is NOT an air spray system.
ALWAYS have the guard in place on the spray gun when

before cleaning or removing the spray tip or servicing any

NEVER try to.stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body.
Be sure equipment safety devices are operating properly
before each use.

Latch
Safety
Whenever you stop spraying, even for a moment, always set
the gun safety latch in the closed or "safe" position, making
the gun inoperative. Failure to set the safety latch can result in
accidental triggering of the gun.
Diffuser
The gun diffuser breaks up spray and reduces the risk of fluid
injection when the tip is not installed. Check diffuser operation
regularly. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, below,
then remove the spray tip. Aim the gun into a metal pail,
holding the gun firmly to the pail. Using the lowest possible
pressure, trigger the gun. If the fluid emitted is not diffused in-
to an irregular stream, replace the diffuser immediately.
Tip Guard
ALWAYS have the tip guard in place on the spray gun while
spraying. The tip guard alerts you to the fluid injection hazard
and helps reduce, but does not prevent, the risk of accidental-
ly placing your fingers or any part of your body close to the
spray tip.
