WARNING
TRAFFIC HAZARD
Being struck by other vehicles may result in serious injury or death.
• Do not operate in traffic.
• Use appropriate traffic control in all traffic areas.
• Follow local highway and transportation regulations for traffic control (for example: Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices, U.S. Department of Transportation).
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in
work area
can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and
explosion:
•
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.
•
Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.
•
Ground all equipment in the work area. See
Grounding
instructions.
•
Use only grounded hoses.
•
Hold gun firmly to side of grounded pail when triggering into pail. Do not use pail liners unless they are anti-
static or conductive.
•
Stop operation immediately
if static sparking occurs or you feel a shock
.
Do not use equipment until you
identify and correct the problem.
•
Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
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 spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.
•
Engage trigger lock when not spraying.
•
Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
•
Do not put your hand over the spray tip.
•
Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
•
Follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure
when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing
equipment.
•
Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•
Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.
CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
Exhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colorless and odorless. Breathing carbon monoxide can
cause death.
• Do not operate in an enclosed area.
PRESSURIZED ALUMINUM PARTS HAZARD
Use of fluids that are incompatible with aluminum in pressurized equipment can cause serious chemical reaction
and equipment rupture. Failure to follow this warning can result in death, serious injury, or property damage.
•
Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids con-
taining such solvents.
•
Many other fluids may contain chemicals that can react with aluminum. Contact your material supplier for com-
patibility.
