Safety Precautions
This manual contains information which must be read and
understood before using the equipment. When you come to an
area which has one of the following symbols, pay particular
attention and make certain to heed the safeguard.
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.
This unit is provided witha a thermally protected
automatic reset. If an overload occurs the thermally
protected automatic reset disconnects the motor from the
power supply.
• The motor will restart without warning when the protector
automatically resets.
• Always disconnect the motor from the power supply
before working on the equipment.
• When the thermally protected automatic reset disconnects
the motor from the power supply, relieve pressure by
turning the priming valve to PRIME.
• Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
HAZARD: Injection injury - A high pressure stream of
paint produced by this equipment can pierce
the skin and underlying tissues, leading to
serious injury and possible amputation.
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 2800 PSI fluid
pressure.
PREVENTION:
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• NEVER allow any part of the body to come in contact
with the fluid stream. DO NOT come in contact with a fluid
stream created by a leak in the fluid hose.
• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
WARNING
NOTE: The cause of the overload should be corrected
before restarting. See TROUBLESHOOTING.
CAUTION
NOTE: Notes give important information which
should be given special attention.
CAUTION
WARNING
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the fluid pump off and
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip
guard, changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will
not be released by turning off the engine. The
PRIME/SPRAY knob must be turned to PRIME to relieve
the pressure. Refer to the PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE described in this manual.
• ALWAYS have the tip guard in place while spraying. The
tip guard provides some protection against injection
injuries but is mainly a warning device.
• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning
the system.
• Inspect the paint hose before each use. The paint hose
can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak is
capable of injecting material into the skin.
• NEVER use a spray gun which does not have a trigger
lock or trigger guard in place and in working order.
• All accessories must be rated at or above 2800 PSI. This
includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes
can explode or ignite, causing property damage
and/or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided to keep
the air within the spray area free from accumulation of
flammable vapors.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks,
open flames, pilot lights, hot objects, cigarettes, and sparks
from connecting and disconnecting power cords or working
light switches.
• Fire extinguishing equipment must be present and in good
working order.
• Keep the pump away from the spray area to avoid solvent
and paint fumes.
• High velocity flow of material through equipment may
develop static electricity. The equipment being used, as well
as objects in and around the spray area must be properly
grounded to prevent static discharge and sparks.
• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hoses
for airless applications. Be sure that the gun is grounded
properly through hose connections.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's safety
precautions and warnings.
• When flushing equipment use the lowest possible pressure.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS - May cause property damage or
severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use bleach.
• Do not use Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as
methylene chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane. They are
not compatible with aluminum and may cause an
explosion. If you are unsure of a material’s compatibility
with aluminum, contact your coating's supplier.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is important
to treat the injury surgically 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.
