Electric Shock Hazard
To reduce the risk of electric shock:
• Be sure sprayer is adequately grounded through electrical outlet, page 6.
• Use only 3-wire, extension cords.
• Make sure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.
• Do not operate with cover removed.
• Turn off sprayer. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 6, and unplug unit, before removing any
parts.
Pressurized Equipment Hazard
Fluid from gun, leaks or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and cause serious injury.
• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 6 when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking
or servicing.
• Do not point spray gun at anyone; put hand, fingers or rag over nozzle, or stop or deflect leaks with
your hand, body, glove, or rag.
• Wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear.
Cleaning Solvent Hazard with Plastic Parts
Use only compatible water-based solvents to clean plastic structural or pressure-containing parts. Many
solvents can degrade plastic parts to the point where they could fail. Such failure could cause serious
injury or property damage. See Technical Data on page 19 of this instruction manual and in all other
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.
Personal Protective Equipment
You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating
area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic
fumes, burns, and hearing loss. This equipment includes but is not limited to:
•
Protective eyewear
• Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer
• Gloves
• Hearing Protection
