HAZARD: INJECTION INJURY

A high pressure paint stream produced by this
equipment can pierce the skin and underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation. SEE A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY.

DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT!
Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician
immediately.

The maximum operating range of the gun is 2800
PSI/193BAR fluid pressure.

PREVENTION:

• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.

• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream.

DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the fluid hose.

• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not

provide protection against an injection injury.

• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump off, and release

all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip or guard,
changing tip, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be
released by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY knob
must be turned to PRIME to relieve the pressure. Refer to
the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE (page 5) described
in the pump manual.

• ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip

guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning
device.

• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning

the system.

• Paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse.

A leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect the hose
before each use.

• NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and

trigger guard in place.

• All accessories must be rated at or above 2800 PSI/193 BAR.

This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:

Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is
important to treat the injury as soon as possible. DO
NOT delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a
concern with some coatings injected directly into the
blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or
reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.

HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS

Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other
materials can be harmful if inhaled or come in
contact with the body. Vapors can cause
severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.

PREVENTION:

• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be

inhaled. Read all instructions supplied
with the mask to be sure it will provide the
necessary protection.

• Wear protective eyewear.

• Wear protective clothing as required by coating

manufacturer.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE

Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.
Property damage and/or severe injury can occur.

PREVENTION:

• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air

introduction to keep the air within the spray area free from
accumulation of flammable vapors.

• Avoid all ignition sources such as static

electric sparks, open flames, pilot lights,
electrical appliances, and hot objects.
Connecting or disconnecting power cords
or working light switches can make sparks.

• Do not smoke in spray area.

• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working

order.

• Place paint pump at least 20 feet from the spray object in a

well ventilated area. Flammable vapors are often heavier
than air. Floor area must be extremely well ventilated. The
paint pump contains arcing parts that emit sparks and can
ignite vapors.

• The equipment and objects in and around the spray area

must be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.

• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hose.

Gun must be grounded through hose connections.

• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.

• Always flush unit into a separate metal container, at low

pump pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly
against side of container to ground container and prevent
static sparks.

• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's warnings

and instructions.

• Do not use materials with a flashpoint below 70° F (21°

C). Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid can produce
enough vapors to ignite.

• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to

enclose a spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths
when spraying flammable materials.

• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
