WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.
General Safety
This equipment generates very high fluid pressure. Spray from
the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid
through your skin and into your body and cause extremely
serious bodily injury, including the need for amputation. Also,
fluid injected or splashed into the eyes can cause serious
damage.
NEVER point the spray gun at anyone or at any part of the
body. NEVER put hand or fingers over the spray tip. NEVER
try to “blow back” paint; this is NOT an air spray system.
ALWAYS have the tip guard in place on the spray gun when
spraying.
Spray Gun Safety Devices
Be sure all gun safety devices are operating properly before
each use. Do not remove or modify any part of the gun; this
can cause a malfunction and result in serious bodily injury.
Safety Latch
Whenever you stop spraying, even for a moment, always set
the gun safety latch in the closed or “safe” position, making
the gun inoperative. Failure to set the safety latch can result in
accidental triggering of the gun.
Diffuser
The gun diffuser breaks up spray and reduces the risk of injec-
tion when the tio is not installed. Check diffuser operation

Tip Guard
ALWAYS have the tip guard in place on the spray gun while
spraying. The tip guard alerts you to the injection hazard and
helps prevent accidentally placing your fingers or any part of
your body close to the spray tip.
Spray Tip Safety
Use extreme caution when cleaning or changing spray tips. If
the spray tip clogs while spraying, engage the gun safety latch
immediately. ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Pro-
cedure and then remove the spray tip to clean it.

NEVER wipe off build up around the spray tip until pressure is
fully relieved and the gun safety latch is engaged.
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including injection or injury from moving parts or electric shock, always follow this
procedure whenever you shut off the sprayer, when checking or servicing any part of the spray system, when installing, clean-
ing or changing spray tips, and whenever you stop spraying.
(1)
Engage the gun safety latch.
(2)
Turn the ON/OFF switch to
OFF.
(3)
Unplug the power supply cord.
(4)
Disengage the gun safety latch.
(5)
Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of
a metal pail, and trigger the gun to relieve pressure.
(6)
Engage the gun safety latch. (7) Open the drain valve, having a container
ready to catch the drainage.
(8)
Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to spray again.
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved after following the
steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen the tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling and relieve pressure gradually, then loosen
completely. Now clear the tip or hose.
