WARNING!
In the event that an air line is cut or broken, the air supply must be turned off at the compressor. A
broken air line which is not supported is extremely dangerous and can whip around very quickly, both with the
capability of striking people, and blowing foreign particles into the air. Do not attempt to catch the air line but
immediately keep bystanders well clear and turn off the air supply to the hose, turn off the compressor at the On
/ Off button, and then remove the hose from the compressor.
• Always check for leaks and correct operation before use. Never operate the spray gun if there are any leaks or
faults. Faults or leaks can cause injury.
• NEVER under any circumstances aim the nozzle at another person or animal. In the event of an injury occurring,
seek medical advice immediately.
• Always ensure there is adequate ventilation when spraying.
• NEVER spray near a naked flame, including an appliance pilot light.
• NEVER smoke whilst spraying.
• NEVER allow children to operate or play with the spray gun.
• NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide protection against an injection injury.
• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum operating pressure range of the sprayer. This includes
spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
• High-pressure hoses must be checked thoroughly before they are used. Replace any damaged high pressure
hose immediately.
• Never pull on the high-pressure hose to move the device.
• Do not twist the high-pressure hose.
• Do not put the high-pressure hose into solvents. Use only a wet cloth to wipe down the outside of the hose.
• Lay the high-pressure hose in such a way as to ensure that it cannot be tripped over.
• Follow material and solvent manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. Be familiar with the coating material’s
SDS sheet and technical information to ensure safe use.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
• Protective clothing, gloves and possibly skin protection cream are necessary for the protection of the skin.
Observe the regulations of the manufacturer concerning coating materials, solvents and cleaning agents in
preparation, processing and cleaning units.
• ALWAYS follow the material manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling of paint and solvents.
• Do not spray on windy days.
• Never leave this equipment unattended. Keep away from children or anyone not familiar with the operation of
airless equipment.
AIR TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate air tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust.
Air tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a air tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a air tool. Do not use a air
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating air tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying air tools with your finger on the switch or
energising air tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the air tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the air tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the air tool in
unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
3. Air tool use and care
a. Do not force the air tool. Use the correct air tool for your application.
The correct air tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the air tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any air tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the air tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing air tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the air tool accidentally.
d. Store idle air tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the air tool or
these instructions to operate the air tool.
Air tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain air tools.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the air tool’s operation. If damaged, have the air tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained air tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the air tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the air tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
4. Service
a. Have your air tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will
ensure that the safety of the air tool is maintained.
