WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY
Maximum Working Pressure 3200 psi, 221 bar
An airless spray gun requires that fluid be introduced to it at very high pressure. Fluids under high pressure, from
spray or leaks, can penetrate the skin and inject substantial quantities of toxic fluid into the body. If not promptly and
properly treated, the injury can cause tissue death or gangrene and may result in serious, permanent disability or
amputation of the wounded part. Therefore, extreme caution must be exercised when using any airless spray
equipment. IF YOU ARE INJECTED, SEE A PHYSICIAN IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT!
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Injection into the skin is a serious, traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury
surgically as soon as possible. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some exotic
coatings injected directly into the bloodstream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or a reconstructive hand surgeon
may be advised.
1) Handle the spray gun carefully. Keep clear of the nozzle. NEVER point the gun at yourself or anyone else.
NEVER permit any part of your body to come in contact with the fluid stream of either the gun or any hose leak.
ALWAYS keep the gun trigger safety lever in a locked position when not spraying. ALWAYS use a tip safety
guard.
2) NEVER attempt to force the flow of fluid backward through the gun with your finger, hand or hand-held object
against the gun nozzle. THIS IS NOT AN AIR SPRAY GUN.
3) NEVER attempt to remove tip, disassemble or repair equipment without first doing the following:
4) Before flushing system, always remove spray tip and adjust fluid pressure to lowest possible setting.
5) Tighten all fluid connections before each use. NEVER exceed 3200 psi, (221 bar) with this unit. Make sure
that all accessory hoses, connections, swivels and so forth can withstand the high pressures which develop.
NEVER exceed the pressure rating of any component in the system.
6)
WARNING:
The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking, abuse, etc. A leak is capable of injecting
fluid into the skin, therefore the paint hose should be inspected before each use. NEVER attempt to plug a
hose with any part of your body, adhesive tape or any other makeshift device. Do not attempt to repair a spray
hose. Instead, replace it with a new grounded hose. Use only with hoses that have spring guards. NEVER
use less than 50' (15m) of hose with this unit.
7) Be sure that the airless equipment being used and the object being sprayed are properly grounded to
prevent static discharge or sparks which could cause fire or explosion.
WARNING:
ALWAYS hold the gun
against metal container when flushing system with tip removed, to prevent static discharge. CAUTION: To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not expose to rain. Store indoors.
8) ALWAYS keep the working area around the pump well ventilated. Additionally, the pump itself should be a
minimum of 25' (7.5m) from the spray area. If these instructions are not followed, there is the possibility of fire
or explosion with certain materials. ALWAYS follow the coating or solvent manufacturer's safety precautions
and warnings. Never spray flammable material near open flames, pilot lights or any source of ignition.
9) ALWAYS wear spray masks and protective eyewear while spraying. Additional personal protective
equipment may be required depending on the type of material being sprayed and conditions of ventilation.
Always contact supplier of material being sprayed for recommendation.
10) Keep all extension poles clear of electrical wires.
11) NEVER alter or modify any part of this equipment; doing so could cause it to malfunction.
12) NEVER leave equipment unattended. Keep away from children or anyone not familiar with the operation of
airless equipment.
PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE
A. Set trigger safety in a locked position.
B. Shut off pump and unplug electrical cord.
C. Release fluid pressure from entire system and trigger gun.
