SAFETY
WARNING
HAZARD: INJECTION INJURY - A high pressure stream of
material produced by this equipment can pierce the
skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious
injury and possible amputation.
DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT!
Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician immediately.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is important to
treat the injury surgically 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.
PREVENTION:
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• NEVER allow any part of the body to come in contact with the
fluid stream.
• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
• Always unplug the spray gun before servicing, cleaning tip
guard, changing tips, or leaving unattended.
• ALWAYS have the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip
guard provides some protection against injection injuries but is
mainly a warning device.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes can
explode or ignite, causing property damage and/or
severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided to keep the
air within the spray area free from accumulation of flammable
vapors.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks, open
flames, pilot lights, hot objects, cigarettes, and sparks from
connecting and disconnecting power cords or working light
switches.
• Fire extinguishing equipment must be present and in good
working order.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's safety
precautions and warnings.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS -
May cause property damage or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use bleach.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as
methylene chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum and may cause an explosion. If you
are unsure of a material's compatibility with aluminum, contact
your coating supplier.
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS - Paints, solvents,
insecticides, and other materials may be harmful if
inhaled, causing severe nausea, fainting, or
poisoning.
PREVENTION
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that
vapors may be inhaled. Read all instructions with the spray
material and mask to ensure that it will provide the necessary
protection against the inhalation of harmful vapors.
HAZARD: GENERAL - May cause property damage or severe
injury.
PREVENTION:
• Read all instructions and safety precautions for equipment and
spray material before operating any equipment.
• Comply with all appropriate local, state, and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
• Keep sprayer out of the reach of children.
• Hearing protection is recommended for extended use.
• Use eye protection to keep particles out of eyes.
English
HAZARD: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD - May cause severe
injury.
PREVENTION:
• Keep electrical cord plug and spray gun trigger free from stain
and other liquids. Never hold cord at plug connections to
support cord. Failure to observe may result in an electrical
shock.
CAUTION
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug
and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. For lengths less than 50 feet, use a
No. 18 AWG extension cord. For lengths more than 50 feet, use a
No. 14 or No. 16 AWG extension cord. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
Wagner Spray Tech accessory extension cords recommended:
P/N 0090241 20 foot extension cord.
P/N 0090242 35 foot extension cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Danger! Improper installation of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without
yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the
grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as
to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make sure
that the product is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this
product.
