SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

Spray from the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause ex-

tremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin

can also cause serious injury.

Fluid injected into the skin may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate surgi-

cal treatment.

Do not point the spray gun at anyone or any part of the body.

Do not put hand or fingers over the spray tip.

Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.

Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.

Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the spray gun when spraying.

Check the gun diffuser operation weekly. Refer to the gun manual.

Be sure the gun trigger safety operates before spraying the gun.

Lock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.

Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 5 if the spray tip clogs and before cleaning,

checking or servicing the equipment.

Tighten all fluid connections before each use.

Check the hoses, tubes and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Per-

manently coupled hoses cannot be repaired.

Handle and route hoses and tubes carefully. Keep hoses and tubes away from moving parts and

hot surfaces. Do not kink or over bend the hoses or use the hoses to pull equipment. Do not

expose Graco hoses to temperatures above 180_F (82_C) or below --40_F (--40_C).

ing sprayed.
