HAZARD: Injection injury - A high pressure 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 3300 PSI /
228BAR 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 PRESSURE 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.
• The 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 and in good working order.
• All accessories must be rated at or above 3300 PSI / 228
BAR. This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and
hose.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes
can explode or ignite. Severe injury and/or
property damage 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.
• Place paint pump in a well ventilated area. Flammable
vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area must be
extremely well ventilated. The paint pump contains arcing
parts that emit spark and can ignite vapors.
• The equipment and objects in and around the spray area
must be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.
• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hose.
Gun must be grounded through hose connections.
• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit
(electric models only).
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
• Always flush unit into a separate metal container, at low
pump pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly
against side of container to ground container and prevent
static sparks.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's warnings
and instructions.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a
flashpoint below 70° F (21° C). Flashpoint is the
temperature that a fluid can produce enough vapors to
ignite.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose a spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths
when spraying flammable materials.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
GAS ENGINE (WHERE APPLICABLE)
Always place pump outside of structure in fresh air. Keep all
solvents away from the engine exhaust. Never fill fuel tank
with a running or hot engine. Hot surface can ignite spilled
fuel. Always attach ground wire from pump unit to a grounded
object, such as a metal water pipe. Refer to engine owner’s
manual for complete safety information.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS - Will cause severe injury or
property damage.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as
mildewcide, methylene chloride and 1,1,1 -
trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum.
• Contact your coating supplier about the compatibility of
material with aluminum.
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS - Paints, solvents,
insecticides, and other materials can be
harmful if inhaled or come in contact with the
body. Vapors can cause severe nausea,
fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be inhaled. Read
all instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will
provide the necessary protection.
• Wear protective eyewear.
• Wear protective clothing as required by coating
manufacturer.
HAZARD: GENERAL - This product can cause severe
injury or property damage.
PREVENTION:
• Read all instructions and safety precautions before
operating equipment.
• Always disconnect the motor from the power supply
before working on the equipment (electric models only).
• Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
• The United States Government Safety Standards have
been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA). These standards, particularly part 1910 of
the General Standards and part 1926 of the Construction
Standards should be consulted.
• Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes
all risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet
the minimum specifications and safety devices of the
pump manufacturer.
• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks,
abrasion or bulging of cover. Check for damage or
movement of couplings. Immediately replace the hose if
any of these conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose.
Replace it with another grounded high-pressure hose.
• All hoses, swivels, guns, and accessories must be
pressure rated at or above 3300PSI/228 BAR.
• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
• Wear clothing to keep paint off skin and hair.
