to vibration can be harm ful to hands and arms.
• Avoid inhaling dust or han dling de bris from work
processes which can be harmful to your health.
• Operators and maintenance per son nel must be
phys i cal ly able to handle the bulk, weight and powerof this
tool.
• This tool is not intended for us ing in ex plo sive at mospheres
and is not insulated for contact with electric power sources.
• Solvent and coatings can be highly
flam ma ble or com bus ti ble especially
when sprayed. Adequate exhaust must be
pro vid ed to keep air free of ac cu mu la tions
of flam ma ble vapors.
• Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
• Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the spray
area.
• Never spray near sources of ignition, such as pilot lights,
welders, etc.
• Halogenated hydrocarbon sol vents — for example;
me th yl ene chloride, are not chem i cal ly compatible
with the alu mi num that might be used in many system
com po nents. The chemical re ac tion caused by these solvents
reacting with aluminum can be come violent and lead to an
equip ment explosion. Guns with stain less steel fluid
passages may be used with these sol vents. How ev er, aluminum
is widely used in other spray ap pli ca tion equipment - such as
material pumps, cups and reg u la tors, valves, etc. Check
all other equipment items be fore use and make sure they
can also be used safely with these solvents. Read the
label or data sheet for the ma te ri al you intend to spray. If in
doubt as to whether or not a coating or cleaning ma te ri al is
com pat i ble, contact your ma te ri al supplier.

chang ing ac ces so ries or when mak ing
re pairs. Nev er di rect air at your self or
anyone else. Whip ping hos es can
cause serious injury. Al ways check for
damaged or loose hoses and fit tings.
Never use quick change cou plings at tool.
They add weight and could fail due to vi bra tion. In stead,
add a hose whip and con nect cou pling be tween air
sup ply, and hose whip, or be tween hose whip and leader
hose. Do not ex ceed max i mum air inlet pres sure of 50
PSI.
• Always use tool a safe distance from other peo ple in
work area.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean and oiled
for best and safest performance. Follow in struc tions for
lu bri cat ing and chang ing ac ces so ries. Wiping or clean ing
rags and other flam ma ble waste materials must be placed
in a tight ly closed metal con tain er and disposed of later in
the prop er fash ion.
• Do not wear loose or ill-fit ting clothing, re move
watch es and rings.

hose left on the walk ing or work sur face.
• Do not force tool. It will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was de signed.
• Do not abuse hoses or con nec tors. Never carry
tool by the hose or yank hose to dis con nect from air
sup ply. Keep hoses from heat, oil and sharp
edg es. Check hoses for weak or worn
condition before each use, mak ing
cer tain that all con nec tions are se cure.
• High sound levels can cause per ma nent
hear ing loss. Protec
