This symbol indicates a potential hazard which may cause
serious injury or loss of life. Important safety information
will follow.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard to you or to the
equipment. Important information that tells how to prevent
damage to the equipment or how to avoid causes of minor
injuries will follow.
THE K20155 AND K2015 SERIES UNITS ARE PROVIDED
WITH A NON-RESETABLE THERMAL OVERLOAD . THE
K3017 AND K4019 SERIES UNITS ARE PROVIDED WITH A

HAZARD: Injection injury - A high pressure paint 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 gun is 3000
PSI/207BAR fluid pressure.
PREVENTION:
• NEVER aim the 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 your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump off, and
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip or
guard, changing tip, or leaving unattended. Pressure will
not be released by turning off the motor. The
PRIME/SPRAY knob must be turned to PRIME to relieve
the pressure. Refer to the PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE described in the pump manual.
• ALWAYS keep the 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 trigger lock and trigger
guard in place.
• All accessories must be rated at or above 3000 PSI/207
BAR. This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes
can explode or ignite. Property damage and/or
severe injury can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to keep
the air within the spray area free from accumulation of
flammable vapors.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electric sparks,
open flames, pilot lights, and hot objects. Connecting or
disconnecting power cords or working light switches can
make sparks.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working
order.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is important
to treat the injury as soon as possible. DO NOT delay
treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with
some coatings injected directly into the blood stream.
Consultation with a plastic surgeon or reconstructive
hand surgeon may be advisable.
WARNING
NOTE: The cause of the overload should be corrected
before restarting. Take to Service Center.
