Important Safety Information - WAGNER WideShot Owner's Manual

Important Safety Information

To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock and the injury to persons, read and understand all instructions included in
this manual. Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of the equipment.
HAZARD: INJECTION INJURY
A high pressure stream of paint 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.
• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
• NEVER allow any part of the body to come in contact with the fluid
stream.
• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Wear gloves. Gloves will
not provide protection against an injection injury.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For
example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the body.
• Always unplug the spray gun before servicing, cleaning tip guard,
changing tips, or leaving unattended.
• ALWAYS use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without nozzle tip
guard in place.The tip guard provides some protection against injection
injuries but is mainly a warning device. Only use a nozzle tip specified
by Wagner.
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.
• Do not spray flammable or combustable materials near an open flame
or sources of ignition such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical
equipment.
• 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.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS
Will 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.

• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs
or alcohol.
HAZARD: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
May cause severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Keep electrical cord plug and spray gun trigger free from paint and
other liquids. Never hold cord at plug connections to support cord.
Failure to observe may result in an electrical shock.
• Never immerse electrical parts in water or any other liquid. Wipe the
exterior of the sprayer with a damp cloth for cleaning. Always make
sure the sprayer is unplugged before taking it apart for cleaning.
NOTE - 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.
