SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely

treatment.

Do not put your hand or fingers over the spray tip.

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

Check the gun diffuser operation weekly. Refer to the gun manual.
