WARNING
HAZARD: Injection injury
–
A high pressure fluid 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 sprayer is 3200 PSI/221BAR fluid pressure.
PREVENTION:
•
NEVER aim the airless spray 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 hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide protection against an
injection injury.
•
ALWAYS lock gun trigger, shut pump off, and release all pressure before servicing,
cleaning tip or guard, changing
tip, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be released by turning off the motor. The
PRIME/SPRAY valve handle
must be turned to PRIME to relieve the pressure. Refer to the PRESSURE RELIEF
PRESSURE described in the pump manual.
•
ALWAYS keep airless 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 3200 PSI/221 BAR. This includes spray tips,
guns, extensions, and hose.
