This symbol indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not 

not avoided could result in death or serious injury.

HazaRd:  InjeCTIOn InjURy  

A high pressure stream of paint produced by this equipment 

can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious 

injury and possible amputation.

dO nOT TReaT an InjeCTIOn InjURy aS a SIMPLe 

CUT!  Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician 

immediately.

nOTe TO PHySICIan:

Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury.  It is important to treat 

the injury surgically 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.

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 come in contact with the fluid 

stream.

 

•  NEVER put your hand in front of the gun.  Wear gloves.  Gloves will 

not provide protection against an injection injury.

 

•  Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge.  For 

example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the body.

 

•  Always unplug the spray gun before servicing, cleaning tip guard, 

changing tips, or leaving unattended.

 

•  Always use the nozzle tip guard.  Do not spray without nozzle tip 

guard in place.The tip guard provides some protection against 

injection injuries but is mainly a warning device.  Only use a nozzle 

tip specified by Wagner.

HazaRd:  eXPLOSIOn OR FIRe

Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite, causing 

property damage and/or severe injury.

PRevenTIOn:

 

•  Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided 

to keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of 

flammable vapors.

 

•  Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity 

sparks, open flames, pilot lights, hot objects, 

cigarettes, and sparks from connecting and 

disconnecting power cords or working light switches.

 

•  Fire extinguishing equipment must be present and in 

good working order.

 

•  Follow the material and solvent manufacturer’s safety precautions 

and warnings.

 

•  Do not spray flammable or combustable materials near an open 

flame or sources of ignition such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical 

equipment.

 

•  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.

HazaRd:    eXPLOSIOn HazaRd dUe TO 

InCOMPaTIBLe MaTeRIaLS

Will cause property damage or severe injury.

PRevenTIOn:

 

•  Do not use bleach.

 

•  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 supplier.

•  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 

Can cause severe injury or property damage.

PRevenTIOn:

 

•  Read all instructions and safety precautions for equipment and 

spray material before operating any equipment.

 

•  Comply with all appropriate local, state, and national codes 

governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation. 

 

•  Keep sprayer out of the reach of children.

 

•  Hearing protection is recommended for extended use.

drugs or alcohol.

HazaRd:  eLeCTRIC SHOCK HazaRd 

May cause severe injury.

PRevenTIOn:

 

•  Keep electrical cord plug and spray gun trigger free 

from paint and other liquids.  Never hold cord at plug connections to 

support cord.  Failure to observe may result in an electrical shock.

 

•  Never immerse electrical parts in water or any other liquid.  Wipe the 

exterior of the sprayer with a damp cloth for cleaning.  Always make 

sure the sprayer is unplugged before taking it apart for cleaning. 

IMPORTanT:  Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade 

grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the 

product.  Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.  When 

using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the 

current your product will draw.  For lengths less than 50 feet, use a no. 

18 aWG extension cord. For lengths more than 50 feet, use a no. 14 or 

no. 16 aWG extension cord.  an undersized cord will cause a drop in 

line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.

Wagner Spray Tech accessory extension cords recommended:

P/N 0090241 

20 foot extension cord.

P/N 0090242 

35 foot extension cord.
