INJECTION HAZARD
1. The Sprayer pumps coatings at high pressure (2500 PSI/173
Bar). If you spray yourself or anyone else at close range, the
stream of material can puncture the skin and cause great
harm (possible amputation).
2. NEVER point the spray gun at yourself or anyone else.
The tip guard provides some protection against injection
injuries, but it is mainly a warning device. NEVER remove
the tip guard. NEVER point the spray gun at your hands,
fingers, or body. ALWAYS keep the spray gun trigger
safety catch locked in the OFF position when not in use.
3. DO NOT cover the tip guard and attempt to “blow back”
fluid. This is not an air sprayer.
4. If injury occurs, see your doctor immediately! DO NOT
TREAT THIS AS A SIMPLE CUT. Inform your doctor
specifically of what fluid was injected.
AVOID STATIC SPARKING
Static electricity charge builds up by high velocity liquid flow-
ing through a hose during flushing, cleaning, or spraying oper-
ations. Proper grounding of the airless system safely dissipates
this charge.
All high pressure airless systems must be grounded to avoid
dangerous static sparking, explosion, or fire when spraying or
flushing with flammable liquids.
• Use Binks NO-WIRE conductive hose in all airless spraying
operations. Be sure the gun and hose have continuity. Check
continuity weekly with ohmmeter. Overall (end to end)
resistance of unpressurized hose must not exceed 29 megohm
(max.) for any coupled length or combination of hose lengths.
• Make sure the airless pump is grounded. NEVER operate the
unit when it is on a non-grounded platform. Electric airless
units are grounded through the grounding prong on the plug.
The electric cord or receptacle must be grounded. DO NOT
alter or remove grounding prong.
• When flushing or cleaning with a combustible solvent,
always use an open metallic container for receiving the
waste solvent. Ground the solvent receptacle.
• Bond the spray gun to the waste container with a grounding
wire. Be sure there is good metal to metal contact.
• ALWAYS remove spray tip when flushing the airless system.
Operate the pump at the lowest possible pressure.
GENERAL WARNINGS
1. NEVER leave a pressurized sprayer unattended.
2. DO NOT use fluids, coatings, or chemicals that are not
compatible with nylon hoses.
3. Periodically inspect all hoses for leaks and/or abrasions and
tighten all connections before use. DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO REPAIR a defective hose. REPLACE it with another
conductive hose.
4. Follow all warnings and precautions of the coating and
solvent manufacturers.
5. ALWAYS relieve pressure in the system by turning bypass
valve to BYPASS or triggering spray gun before
disassembly of any component parts.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
The airless sprayer is designed to use authorized parts only.
When using this pump with parts that do not comply with the
minimum specifications and safety devices of Binks, the user
assumes all risks and liabilities.
