Magnum Venus Plastech Gel Coat Gun EMG-1500 - Manual (Page 4)

AIRLESS EQUIPMENT SAFETY
Injection Hazard
• DO NOT POINT THE GUN AT ANY PERSON
• NEVER LOOK AT THE GUN FROM THE FRONT (NOZZLE END)
• NEVER trigger an airless gun while it is aimed at a person. The hydraulic pressure
may inject fluid into the flesh, causing injury or death. If the fluid penetrates the skin it
WILL cause serious injury. Clothing, such as gloves will NOT provide protection. The
system is capable of fluid pressure high enough to cause a LETHAL INJECTION.
• TREAT THE APPLICATOR AS YOU WOULD A LOADED WEAPON.
Before applying pressure to the system, ALWAYS:
• Follow the manufac
turer’s operating instructions and maximum pressure
recommendations.
• Secure the trigger in the OFF position and check all pressure connections.
• Use grounded, high pressure fluid lines.
• Check that the pump is properly grounded.
Before disassembly of ANY part of the pressure system (including the applicator or its
nozzle) ALWAYS:
• Shut the pump OFF.
• Discharge the residual fluid and pressure from the applicator.
• Secure the trigger in the OFF position.
Follow these same three procedures anytime that operation is discontinued.
Do NOT undertake any of the following until pressure is relieved from the entire system:
• Loosen or remove the nozzle.
• Disassemble any part of the applicator.
• Loosen or disconnect any fluid line fittings.
• Disassemble any part of the pump.
