SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause
extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid splashed in the eyes or on the skin
can also cause serious injury.

Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate surgi-
cal treatment.

Do not point the gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
D
Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip.

Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.
