Warnings
STARTUP HAZARD AFTER THERMAL
OVERLOAD
The motor has a thermal overload switch
to shut down the motor if it overheats. To
reduce the risk of serious injury from the
motor restarting unexpectedly when it cools,
always turn the Power switch (B) OFF if the motor shuts
down.
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
M
AGNUM
sprayers are capable of
producing up to 3000 psi (21 MPa, 207 bar)
maximum working pressure. To avoid
component rupture and injury, do not operate sprayer
with components rated less than pressure of sprayer.
This sprayer is equipped with a drain/prime valve that
automatically relieves overpressure in the event of a fault.
This automatic overpressure relief may cause splashing of
fluid. Correct the fault before you resume spraying.
NOTE:
Inadequate flushing and/or dried paint in drain
system may prevent proper overpressure relief.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
The spray gun, hose, and sprayer are
grounded through the electrical cord
of the sprayer.
To help prevent electric shock
D
Use only grounded electrical outlets.
D
Only use 3-wire extension cords.
D
Make sure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and
extension cords.
D
Keep electrical connections and inside of enclosures dry.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause
serious injury or death if splashed in the
eyes or on the skin, inhaled, or swallowed.
To help prevent injury or death from
toxic fluids
D
Know specific hazards of fluid you are using; store
hazardous fluid in approved tub; dispose of hazardous
fluid according to all local, state, and national guidelines.
D
Always wear protective eyewear, gloves, clothing, and
respirator as recommended by fluid and solvent
manufacturer.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Do not use 1,1,1–trichloroethane, methylene
chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents or fluids containing such solvents in
pressurized aluminum equipment such as
this sprayer and spray gun. Such use could
result in a chemical reaction, with the possibility of explosion.
WARNING
OFF
FLUID INJECTION HAZARD
If high-pressure fluid pierces your skin,
the injury might look like “just a cut,” but it
is a serious wound. Get immediate
medical attention.
To help prevent injection
D
Always put gun trigger safety in SAFETY
ON position when not spraying.
D
Always shut off power and relieve
pressure when you stop spraying and
before you service or clean sprayer,
remove parts, or repair leaks. See
Pressure Relief
Procedure
on page 6.
D
Never allow children to use this equip-
ment.
D
Keep clear of spray tip, and never point
spray gun at yourself or anyone else.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
A fire and explosion hazard exists any time
you spray or flush flammable fluids.
To help prevent fire or explosion when
spraying flammable fluids
D
Be sure sprayer is adequately grounded
through electrical outlet by
–
Using only grounded electrical outlets.
–
Using only 3-wire extension cords.
–
Making sure ground prongs are intact
on sprayer and extension cords.
D
The motor in this sprayer is a source of
sparks. Keep sprayer in a well-ventilated
area, at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from
spray gun when spraying or flushing.
D
Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying or flushing flammable fluids.
D
Avoid all ignition sources such as static
electricity from plastic drop cloths, open
flames such as pilot lights, hot objects
such as cigarettes, and arcs from con-
necting or disconnecting power cords
and turning light switches off or on.
D
Tape wall switches to prevent them from
being turned off or on.
D
Do not smoke in spray area.
D
Use only M
AGNUM
