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 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.
THERMAL EXPANSION HAZARD
Fluids subjected to heat in confined spaces, including hoses, can create a rapid rise in pressure due to
the thermal expansion. Over-pressurization can result in equipment rupture and serious injury.
•
Open a valve to relieve the fluid expansion during heating.
•
Replace hoses proactively at regular intervals based on your operating conditions.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled or
swallowed.
•
Read Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) for handling instructions and to know the specific hazards of the
fluids you are using, including the effects of long-term exposure.
•
When spraying, servicing equipment, or when in the work area, always keep work area
well-ventilated and always wear appropriate personal protective equipment. See
Personal
Protective Equipment
warnings in this manual.
•
Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
BURN HAZARD
Equipment surfaces and fluid that is heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe
burns:
•
Do not touch hot fluid or equipment.
