Safety regulations
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.
Severe injury and/or property damage can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to
keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of
flammable vapors.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks,
electrical appliances, flames, pilot lights, hot objects, and
sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or
working light switches.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working order.
• Place sprayer at least 6.1 m (20 feet) from the spray object
in a well ventilated area (add more hose if necessary).
Flammable vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area must
be extremely well ventilated. The pump contains arcing parts
that emit sparks and can ignite vapors.
• The equipment and objects in and around the spray area must
be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.
• Use only conductive or earthed high pressure fluid hose. Gun
must be earthed through hose connections.
• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit (electric
units only).
• Always flush unit into separate metal container, at low pump
pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly against side
of container to ground container and prevent static sparks.
• Follow material and solvent manufacturer’s warnings and
instructions. Be familiar with the coating material’s MSDS
sheet and technical information to ensure safe use.
• The unit must be connected to an earthed object. Use the
green earthing wire to connect the unit to a water pipe, steel
beam, or other electrically earthed surface.
• Do not use materials with a flashpoint below 21° C (70° F).
Flashpoint is the temperature at which a fluid can produce
enough vapors to ignite.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to enclose
spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when spraying
flammable materials.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DuE TO
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS
Will cause severe injury or property damage.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.
• 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
can be harmful if inhaled or come in contact with
body. Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or
poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be inhaled. Read all
instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will provide
the necessary protection.
• Wear protective eyewear.
• Wear protective clothing as required by coating manufacturer.
HAZARD: GENERAL
This product can cause severe injury or property
damage.
PREVENTION:
• Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating
equipment.
• Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
• Pulling the trigger causes a recoil force to the hand that is
holding the spray gun. The recoil force of the spray gun is
particularly powerful when the tip has been removed and
a high pressure has been set on the airless pump. When
cleaning without a spray tip, set the pressure control knob to
the lowest pressure.
• Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all risks
and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the minimum
specifications and safety devices of the pump manufacturer.
• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion
or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of
couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these
conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with
another earthed high-pressure hose.
• Make sure power cord, air hose and spray hoses are routed in
such a manner to minimize slip, trip and fall hazard
• ALWAYS follow the material manufacturer’s instructions for
safe handling of paint and solvents.
• Do not use this unit in workshops that are covered under the
explosion prevention regulations.
• Clean up all material and solvent spills immediately to prevent
slip hazard.
• Always unplug cord from outlet before working on equipment
(electric units only).
• Always keep the power cord plug in sight during usage to
prevent any accidental shutdown or startup.
• Wear ear protection. This unit can produce noise levels above
85 dB(A).
• Never leave this equipment unattended. Keep away from
children or anyone not familiar with the operation of airless
equipment.
• Do not move unit while hopper is filled or while unit is
running.
• Do not spray on windy days.
