Airless Spray Wounds
If any fluid appears to penetrate your skin, get
EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE AT ONCE.

SIMPLE CUT
.
Tell the doctor exactly what fluid was injected.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
: Injection in the skin is a trau-
matic injury.
It is important to treat the injury surgi-
cally as soon as possible. DO NOT DELAY treat-
ment to research toxicity.
Toxicity is a concern with some

penetrate the skin and cause extremely serious
injury, including the need for amputation.
NEVER point the spray gun at anyone or any part of
the body.
NEVER put hand or fingers over the spray tip. Do not
use rag or other materials over your fingers. Paint will
penetrate through these materials and into the hand.

body.
ALWAYS have gun tip guard in place when spraying.
ALWAYS lock gun trigger when you stop spraying.
ALWAYS remove tip from the gun to clean it.

ing the spray tip or servicing any system equipment.
Be sure equipment safety devices are operating prop-
erly before each use.
Tighten all fluid connections before each use.
MEDICAL TREATMENT
If any fluid appears to penetrate your skin, get
EMER-
GENCY CARE AT ONCE. DO NOT TREAT AS A
SIMPLE CUT.

tips. If the spray tip clogs while spraying, engage the
gun safety latch immediately. ALWAYS follow the
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
and then remove
the spray tip to clean it.
NEVER wipe off build up around the spray tip.
ALWAYS remove tip & tip guard to clean AFTER
pump is turned off and the pressure is relieved by fol-
lowing the
