a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate medical attention.
• Do not point the gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
• Do not put your hand or fingers over the gun fluid nozzle.
• Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.

or servicing equipment.
• Use lowest possible pressure when flushing, priming, or troubleshooting.
• Never spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
• Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
