Fluid under high pressure from spray or leaks can
penetrate the skin & cause serious injury & the need for
amputation.
NEVER

rag over your fingers, paint would penetrate through and
onto fingers.

NEVER
wipe off build up around spray tip.
ALWAYS
remove the tip from the gun to clean it. After
following Pressure Relief Procedure!!
NEVER

NEVER
use around children.
NEVER
allow another person to use sprayer.
ALWAYS
use face mask while spraying.
NEVER
leave sprayer unattended with pressure in system.
FIRE EXPLOSION WARNING
SPRAYING STATIC SPARKING = FIRE/EXPLOSION
PREVENT FIRE AND EXPLOSION BY REDUCING STATIC SPARKING AND
ELIMINATING VAPORS BY FOLLOWING THESE WARNINGS
ALWAYS
be sure all equipment, paint bucket and object being
sprayed are properly grounded. ALWAYS ground sprayer, gun,
paint bucket and object being sprayed. Be sure gun is grounded
through hose connection.
NEVER
spray in closed area. Ventilation must be adequate to
remove vapors.
NEVER
keep flammable materials in spray area.
NEVER
spray highly flammable liquids.
ALWAYS
use only high pressure conductive airless hoses with
static wire approved for 3000 psi. Never exceed 500 feet of hose.
NEVER
SMOKE IN SPRAYING AREA.
ALWAYS
ensure properly maintained fire extinguishing
equipment is available.
NEVER
spray in vicinity of open flame or other sources of
ignition such as water heaters and furnaces.
ALWAYS
locate the sprayer and electrical outlets in use at
least 25 feet away from spray area in well ventilated area.
Do not plug in any electrical cords in spray area.
Follow the coating and solvent manufacture’s safety precautions
and warnings.
HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON WARNING:
NEVER
use halogenated hydrocarbon (HHC) solvents or paints
that contain them in this system. Some of the most common of
these solvents are: Carbontetrachloride, Chlorobenzene,
Dichloroethane, Dichloroethyl Ether, Ethyl bromide,
Ethylchloride, Tetrachloethane.
FLUSHING AND CLEANING CAN CREATE STATIC SPARKING IF DONE IMPROPERLY!
NEVER
spray solvents under pressure through spray tip.
Follow Pressure Relief Procedure and remove
spray tip for cleaning.
Use LOWEST POSSIBLE PRESSURE when
flushing and cleaning.
Hold gun firmly against a metal waste container to reduce spark
possibility.
NEVER
use cleaning solvents with flash points below 140
degrees F. Some of these are: acetone, benzene, ether, gasoline,
naphtha. Consult your supplier to be sure.
