Warnings

The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclama-
tion point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbol refers to procedure-specific risk. Refer back 
to these warnings. Additional, product-specific warnings may be found throughout the body of this manual where 
applicable.

WARNING

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD 

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system 
component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.

Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical Data in all 
equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings. For complete information 
about your material, request MSDS forms from distributor or retailer.

Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine manu-
facturer’s replacement parts only.

Do not alter or modify equipment.

Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.

Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.

Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.

Keep children and animals away from work area.

Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

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 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 Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and before cleaning, 
checking, or servicing equipment. 

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.

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 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.

If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment 
until you identify and correct the problem.

Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.
