WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in
work area
can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explo-
sion:
•
Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
•
Do not fill fuel tank while engine is running or hot; shut off engine and let it cool. Fuel is flammable and can ignite or
explode if spilled on hot surface.
•
When flammable liquid is sprayed or used for flushing or cleaning, keep sprayer at least 20 feet (6 m) away from
explosive vapors.
•
Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and plastic drop cloths (potential
static arc).
•
Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
•
Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light switches on or off when flammable fumes are present.
•
Ground equipment and conductive objects in work area. See
Grounding
instructions.
•
Use only grounded hoses.
•
Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail.
•
If there is static sparking or you feel a shock,
stop operation immediately.
Do not use equipment until you identify
and correct the problem.
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 medical attention.

Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
•
Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
