NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Injection in the skin is a traumatic
injury. It is important to treat the injury surgically as soon as
possible. DO NOT DELAY treatment to research toxicity. Tox-
icity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected directly
into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or
reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.
FLUIDS UNDER HIGH PRESSURE FROM SPRAY OR
LEAKS CAN PENETRATE THE SKIN AND CAUSE
EXTREMELY SERIOUS INJURY, INCLUDING THE
NEED FOR AMPUTATION.
NEVER point the spray gun towards anyone or at any part
of the body.
NEVER put hand or fingers over the spray tip. Do not use
rag or other materials over your fingers. Paint will penetrate
through material and into the hand.
NEVER try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body.
ALWAYS have gun tip guard in place when spraying.
ALWAYS lock gun trigger when you stop spraying.
ALWAYS remove tip from the gun to clean it.
NEVER try to "blow back" paint, it’s not an air sprayer.
ALWAYS follow the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE,
as shown on page 9, before cleaning or removing the spray
tip or servicing any system equipment.
Be sure equipment safety devices are operating properly
before each use.
ALWAYS tighten all fluid connections before each use.
If any fluid appears to penetrate your skin, get
EMERGENCY CARE AT ONCE.

DO NOT remove or modify any part of gun.
ALWAYS remove spray tip when cleaning.
Flush unit with LOWEST POSSIBLE PRESSURE.
CHECK operation of all gun safety devices before each
use. Be very careful when removing the spray tip or hose
from gun. A plugged line contains fluid under pressure. If
the tip or line is plugged, follow the PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE as outlined on page 9. TIP GUARD
ALWAYS have the tip guard in place on the spray gun
while spraying. The tip guard alerts you to the injection
hazard and helps prevent accidentally placing your fingers
or any part of your body close to the spray tip.
USE EXTREME CAUTION when cleaning or changing
spray tips. If the spray tip clogs while spraying, engage the
gun safety latch immediately.
ALWAYS follow the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
before removing the spray tip to clean it.
NEVER wipe off build up around the spray tip.
ALWAYS remove tip & tip guard to clean AFTER pump
