READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL.
Read the operator’s
manual carefully. Learn the machine’s applications and
limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related
to this tool.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:

Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near
an open flame or sources of ignition such as cigarettes,
motors, and electrical equipment.
 For units intended for use with only water-based or
mineral spirit-type materials with a minimum flash point
of 60°C (140°F), do not spray or clean with liquids having
a flash point less than 60°C (140°F).

Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to
result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk
of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent
fumes. All parts of the spray system, including the pump,
spray gun, and objects in and around the spray area shall
be properly grounded to protect against static discharge
and sparks.
 Verify that all containers and collection systems are
grounded to prevent static discharge.

Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded
extension cords. Do not use a 3-to-2 adapter.

Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons.

Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of
fresh air moving through the area. Keep pump assembly
in a well-ventilated area.

Do not smoke in the spray area.

Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark-
producing products in the spray area.

Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers,
rags, and other flammable materials.

Know the contents of the paints and solvents being
sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and
container labels provided with the paints and solvents.
Follow the paint and solvent manufacturer’s safety
instructions.

Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of skin injection:

Do not aim the nozzle at, or spray any person or animal.

Keep hands and other body parts away from the

any part of the body.

Always use the spray tip. Do not spray without spray
tip in place.

the unit is not in use, turn off the unit in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.

High pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the
body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that
injection occurs, seek medical attention immediately.
