Ryobi RAP200G - Manual (Page 4)

4 — English
 Never start the machine if ice has formed in any part
of the equipment.
 WARNING: High pressure spray can be dangerous
if subject to misuse. The spray must not be directed
at persons, animals, electrical devices, or the machine
itself.
 Keep away from hot parts.
 Check bolts and nuts for looseness before each use. A
loose bolt or nut may cause serious motor problems.
 Before storing, allow the product to cool.
 Store in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from
spark and/or flame-producing equipment.
 When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
 Never use the sprayer without a spray tip in-
stalled.
 An injection injury can lead to possible amputation.
See a physician immediately.
 Never put your hand in front of the spray tip when in
use. Gloves will not always provide protection against
an injection injury.
 Wear protective clot hing to keep paint off skin and
hair, along with a mask or respirator during use. Paints,
solvents, and other materials can be harmful if inhaled or
if they come into contact with the body.
 Always unplug the paint station, shut the unit off and
release pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip
or guard, changing the tip, or leaving unattended.
 Plastic can cause sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose a spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths
when spraying flammable materials.
 Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
 Do not attempt to clean or unclog the spray tip with
your finger.
 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. A wire
gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least
14 is recommended for an
extension cord 50 feet or less in length. A cord exceeding
100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier
the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
 Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct other users. If you loan someone this
tool, loan them these instructions also.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
 Keep guards in place and in working order. Never
operate the tool with any guard or cover removed. Make
