Important Safety Information
• Read all safety information before
operating the equipment. Save these instructions
HAZARD: INJECTION INJURY
A high pressure paint stream produced by this
equipment can pierce the skin and underlying tissues,
leading to serious injury and possible amputation.
SEE A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.
DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT!
Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician
immediately.
The maximum operating range of the gun is 3000 PSI/207 BAR
fluid pressure.
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 touch the fluid stream. DO
NOT allow body to touch a leak in the fluid hose.
• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide
protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump off, and release all
pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip or guard, changing tip,
or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be released by turning off
the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY knob must be turned to PRIME to
relieve the pressure. Refer to the
described in the pump manual.
• ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip guard
provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.
• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the
system.
• Paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A
leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect the hose before each
use. Do not use hose to lift or pull equipment.
• NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and trigger
guard in place.
• All accessories must be rated at or above 3000 PSI/207 BAR.
This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS
Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials
can be harmful if inhaled or come in contact with
the body. Vapors can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be
inhaled. Read all instructions supplied with the
mask to be sure it will provide the necessary
protection.
• Wear protective eyewear.
• Wear protective clothing as required by coating manufacturer.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is important to treat
the injury 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.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite. Property
damage and/or severe injury can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to keep the air
within the spray area free from accumulation of flammable vapors.
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.
• Do not spray in a confined area.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electric
sparks, open flames, pilot lights, electrical
appliances, and hot objects. Connecting or
disconnecting power cords or working light
switches can make sparks. Paint or solvent
flowing through the equipment is able to result in static electricity.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working order.
• Place paint pump at least 20 feet from the spray object in a well
ventilated area (add more hose if necessary). Flammable vapors
are often heavier than air. Floor area must be extremely well
ventilated.
• The equipment and objects in and around the spray area must be
properly grounded to prevent static sparks.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags and
other flammable materials.
• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hose. Gun
must be grounded through hose connections.
• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.
• Always flush unit into a separate metal container, at low pump
pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly against side of
container to ground container and prevent static sparks.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's warnings and
instructions. 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.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint below
70ºF (21ºC). Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid can produce
enough vapors to ignite.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to enclose a
spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when spraying
flammable materials.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
• Do not spray onto pump assembly.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS
Will cause property damage or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use materials containing bleach or
chlorine.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as bleach,
mildewcide, methylene chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane. They
are not compatible with aluminum.
• Contact your coating supplier about the compatibility of material
with aluminum.
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.
