Warning
Skin Injection Hazard
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just
a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.
• 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.
• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 7, when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking,
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.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. High pres-
sure hose cannot be recoupled; replace the entire hose.
Fire and Explosion Hazard
Solvent and paint fumes in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:
• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as pilot lights, cigarettes and plastic drop cloths (potential static
arc).
• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.
• Keep the work area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
• Ground equipment and conductive objects. See Grounding, page 11.
• Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.
• Use only grounded hoses.
• If there is static sparking or you feel an electric shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use
equipment until you identify and correct the problem.
• If connecting PC for data download, PC must be in non-hazardous location and a safety barrier must
be installed. See Xtreme Mix software documentation.
• Keep a fire extinguisher in the work area.
Electric Shock Hazard
Improper grounding, wiring, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.
• All electrical wiring must be done by a qualified electrician and comply with all local codes and regu-
lations.
• Connect only to grounded power source.
• Turn off and disconnect power at the main switch before disconnecting any cables and before servic-
ing equipment.
