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.
PREVENTION:
• The maximum operating range of the unit is 2750 PSI fluid
pressure.
• 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.
• 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 motor. 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.
• The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and
abuse. A leak is capable of injecting material into the skin.
Inspect the paint hose before each use.
• 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 2750 PSI. This
includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
• In case of a skin injection, see a physician immediately.
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 unit in a well ventilated location away from the
spray area to avoid solvent and paint fumes. The pump
contains arcing parts which emit sparks.
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.
DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A
SIMPLE CUT! Injection can lead to
amputation. See a physician immediately.
WARNING
• 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.
• The power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a
flashpoint below 70° F (21° C). A fluid’s flashpoint is the
temperature at which vapors from the fluid could ignite if
exposed to a flame or spark.
• 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.
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS - Paints, solvents,
insecticides, and other materials may be
harmful if inhaled, causing severe nausea,
fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that
vapors may be inhaled. Read all instructions with the
mask to ensure that it will provide the necessary
protection against the inhalation of harmful vapors.
HAZARD: GENERAL - May cause property damage or
severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Read all instructions and safety precautions before
operating any equipment.
• Comply with 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.
• This high pressure airless pump is designed to be used
with manufacturer authorized parts only. When using this
pump with parts that do not comply with the minimum
specifications and safety devices of the pump
manufacturer, the user assumes all risks and liabilities.
• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion
or bulging of cover, as well as damage or movement of
couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace the
hose immediately. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it
with another grounded hose.
• All hoses, swivels, guns, and accessories used with this
unit must be pressure rated at or above 2750 PSI.
• Do not spray on windy days.
• Wear protective eyewear.
