WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD 

Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. Paint or solvent 
flowing through the equipment can cause static sparking. 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 sparking). 

Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.

Never spray or flush solvent at high pressure.

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.

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.

MOVING PARTS HAZARD

Moving parts can pinch, cut or amputate fingers and other body parts.

Keep clear of moving parts.

Do not operate equipment with protective guards or covers removed.

Do not wear loose clothing, jewelry or long hair while operating equipment.

Equipment can start without warning. Before checking, moving, or servicing equipment, follow the 
Pressure Relief Procedure and disconnect all power sources.

SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE

Electrostatic charging hazard. Clean surfaces with a damp cloth and read instructions for additional 
techniques to mitigate risk of electrostatic discharge.

The Ambient Temperature Range of each agitator depends on the air motor included in the assembly. 
Refer to Models anTechnical Specifications in Instruction manual for additional information.
