Safety Precautions
Be safety-conscious! All local and national regulations governing ventilation,
fire prevention, and operation must be observed.
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. Inform the physician of the type of coating material or
cleaning agent with which the injury was caused.
The maximum operating range of the spray gun is 25 MPa / 250 bar fluid pressure.
• 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 hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide protection against an injection
injury.
• Never point the spray gun at anyone else.
• 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 valve 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 the maximum operating pressure range of the
airless sprayer. This includes spray tips, extensions, and hose.
HAZARD: Explosion hazard due to incompatible materials
Will cause severe injury or property damage.
• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as bleach, mildewcide, methylene
chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum.
• Contact your coating material supplier about the compatibility of material with aluminum.
HAZARD: General
This product can cause severe injury or property damage.
• Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating equipment.
• Never spray near sources of ignition; e.g. open flames, cigarettes — also cigars and pipes
are sources of ignition —, sparks, hot wires and hot surfaces, etc.
• Wear respiratory equipment when spraying. The operator must be provided with a
protective mask.
In order to prevent work related illness, the manufacturer’s regulations for the materials,
solvents, and cleaning agents used must be observed when preparing, working with and
cleaning the unit. Protective clothing, gloves, eyewear, and, in certain cases, protective skin
