Safety Safety
Important Safety
Information
Read all safety information before operating
the equipment. Save these instructions
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
a) 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.
b) WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire
or explosion:
1. Do not spray flammable or combustible
materials near an open flame, pilot lights or sources
of ignition such as hot objects, cigarettes, motors,
electrical equipment and electrical appliances. Avoid
creating sparks from connecting and disconnecting
power cords.
2. 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.
3. Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able
to result in static electricity. Static electricity creates
a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or
solvent fumes. All parts of the spray system, including
the pump, hose assembly, spray gun and objects in
and around the spray area shall be properly grounded
to protect against static discharge and sparks. Use only
conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint
sprayer hoses specified by the manufacturer.
4. Verify that all containers and collection systems are
grounded to prevent static discharge.
5. Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded
extension cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3
to 2 adapter.
6. Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide,
methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier
about compatibility of material with aluminum.
7. Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good
supply of fresh air moving through the area to keep
the air within the spray area free from accumulation
of flammable vapors. Keep pump assembly in well
ventilated area. Do not spray pump assembly.
8. Do not smoke in the spray area.
9. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar
spark producing products in the spray area.
10. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent
containers, rags, and other flammable materials.
11. Know the contents of the paint 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
manufacture’s safety instructions.
12. Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) 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 pump contains arcing parts that
emit sparks and can ignite vapors.
13. Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic
to enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop
cloths when spraying flammable material.
14. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and
working.
c) WARNING - To reduce the risk of skin
injection:
1. Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person
or animal.
2. Keep hands and other body parts away from the
discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks
with any part of the body.
3. Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray
without the nozzle tip guard in place.
4. Only use a nozzle tip specified by the
manufacturer.
5. Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle
tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs while
spraying, ALWAYS lock gun trigger, shut pump
off, and release all pressure before servicing,
cleaning tip or guard, or changing tip. Pressure
will not be released by turning off the motor. The
PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must
be turned to their appropriate positions to relieve
system pressure. Refer to PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE described in the pump manual.
6. Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure
while unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn
off the unit and relieve the pressure in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
7. High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into
the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the
event that injection occurs, seek medical attention
immediately.
8. Check hoses and parts for signs of damage, a
leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect hose
before each use. Replace any damaged hoses or
parts.
9. This system is capable of producing 3000 PSI / 207
Bar. Only use replacement parts or accessories
that are specified by the manufacturer and that are
rated a minimum of 3000 PSI. This includes spray
tips, nozzle guards, guns, extensions, fittings, and
hose.
10. Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying.
Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly.
11. Verify that all connections are secure before
operating the unit.
12. Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure
quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
Pressure will not be released by turning off the
motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed
valve must be turned to their appropriate positions
to relieve system pressure. Refer to PRESSURE
RELIEF PROCEDURE described in the pump
manual.
13. Always remove the spray tip before flushing or
cleaning the system.
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.
d) WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury:
1. Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection,
clothing and a respirator or mask when painting.
Hazardous vapors – Paints, solvents, insecticides,
and other materials can be harmful if inhaled or
come in contact with body. Vapors can cause
severe nausea, fainting or poisoning.
2. Wear ear protection. This unit can produce noise
levels above 85 dB(A).
3. Do not operate or spray near children. Keep
children away from equipment at all times.
4. Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support.
Keep effective footing and balance at all times.
5. Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
6. Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.
