General Safety Precautions
1. Operator's due diligence
Airless spray technology requires input of fluids under extremely high pressure. Fluids under this high
pressure can penetrate the skin and human tissue, thereby injecting significant quantities of toxic fluids
into the body. If these injuries are not treated quickly and appropriately, they can cause gangrene and
dying off of the affected tissue, which could in certain circumstances result in serious long-term damage
or amputation of the body part affected. Handling airless spray devices therefore requires utmost caution.
Therefore, note particularly leaky points in the pump-hose-gun system at which fluid or spray mist exits
under high pressure.
IN THE EVENT OF MATERIALS INJECTING/PENETRATING THE BODY, SEEK IMMEDIATE
MEDICAL HELP!
NEVER TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT.
Note for doctor: skin injection through airless devices constitutes a serious traumatic injury. It is absolutely impera-
tive to have this injury immediately treated by surgery. Do not delay for the sake of toxicity examination! With a few
coating materials that have entered the bloodstream toxicity is a given. You can find advice on this on the package
of the coating material and on the safety data sheet belonging to it.
Consultation from a plastic surgeon or from a specialist for restorative surgery is urgently recommended.

3. Fundamental safety measures
1)
Exercise the utmost caution when handling the spray gun. Never direct the spray gun at your own body or at other
persons. Never allow parts of the body to come into contact with the liquid flow from the spray gun or from leaking
points. When spray gun is not in use always turn the safety lever of the spray gun to the locked position. Always use
a nozzle holder with dust protection cap. Defective nozzle holders must be replaced immediately.
2)
Never attempt to hold back the liquid flow by placing your fingers, hand or other object over the nozzle.
