WARNING
INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
whenever you are instructed to relieve
pressure, follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure on page 9.
The tip guard alerts you to the risk and helps prevent
placing any part of the body close to the spray tip. The
tip guard also adjusts the vertical or horizontal spray
pattern. See Fig. 9. The tip guard holds a reversing
spray tip. The tip is in the spraying position when the
tip handle points forward. See Fig. 7.
Clean the front of the tip frequently during the day’s
operation. First, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
on page 9.
