WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely
serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin can also
cause serious injury.
D Fluid injected into the skin may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate medi-
cal attention.
D Do not point the gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
D Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip.
D Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
D Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.
D Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the gun when spraying.
D Check the gun diffuser operation weekly. Refer to the gun manual.
D Be sure the gun trigger safety operates before spraying.
D Lock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 10 if the spray tip clogs and before cleaning,
checking or servicing the equipment.
D Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Do not
repair high pressure couplings; you must replace the entire hose.
D Fluid hoses must have spring guards on both ends, to help protect them from rupture caused by
kinks or bends near the couplings.

Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on the skin,
inhaled, or swallowed.

state and national guidelines.
