HAZARD:
EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite. Property damage and/or
severe injury can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to keep the air
within the spray area free from accumulation of flammable vapors.
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.
• Do not spray in a confined area.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electric sparks, open flames,
pilot lights, electrical appliances, and hot objects. Connecting or
disconnecting power cords or working light switches can make sparks.
Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static
electricity.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working order.
• Place paint pump at least 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 equipment and objects in and around the spray area must be
properly grounded to prevent static sparks.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags and other
flammable materials.
• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hose. Gun must
be grounded through hose connections.
• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.
• Always flush unit into a 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 the material and solvent manufacturer's warnings and
instructions. Know the contents of the paints and solvents being
sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and container
labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and
solvent manufacturer’s safety instructions.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint below 70ºF
(21ºC). Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid can produce enough
vapors to ignite.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to enclose a spray
area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when spraying flammable materials.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
• Do not spray onto pump assembly.
HAZARD: GENERAL
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.
• 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.
• Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all risks and
liabilities when using parts that do not meet the minimum specifications
and safety requirements 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 grounded high-pressure hose.
• All hoses, swivels, guns, and accessories must be pressure rated at or
above 3000 PSI/207 BAR.
• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
• Wear clothing to keep paint off skin and hair.
• Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from the
equipment at all times.
• Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep effective
footing and balance at all times.
• Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or
alcohol.
Operating the High Pressure Spray Gun
The gun is designed for pressures up to 2800 PSI, 193 bar.
POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD - Do not spray without the tip assembly
in place. Never trigger the gun unless the tip is in either the spray or the
unclog position. Always lock the trigger off when attaching the spray tip
or when the spray gun is not in use.
WARNING
HAZARD:
INJECTION INJURY
A high pressure paint 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.
The maximum operating range of the gun is 2800 PSI/193 BAR fluid
pressure.
PREVENTION:
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
• 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 your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide
protection against an injection injury.
• 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 knob must be turned to PRIME to relieve the pressure.
Refer to the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE 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.
• Paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak can
inject material into the skin. Inspect the hose before each use. Do not
use hose to lift or pull equipment.
• NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and trigger guard
in place.
• All accessories must be rated at or above 3000 PSI/207 BAR. This
includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
HAZARD:
EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS
Will cause property damage or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• 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 supplier about the compatibility of material with
aluminum.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is important to treat
the injury 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.
