FLUID INJECTION HAZARD
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 bod
-
ily
injury
, including the need
for amputation. Also, fluid injected
or
splashed into the eyes or
on the skin can cause serious dam
-
age.
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.
ALWA
YS have the tip guard on the spray gun when spraying.
ALWAYS
follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure
, below
, before
cleaning or removing the spray tip or servicing any system
equipment.
NEVER
try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body
.
Be
sure equipment safety devices are operating properly before
each
use.
Medical
Alert––Airless Spray W
ounds
If any fluid appears to penetrate your skin, get EMERGENCY
MEDICAL CARE AT ONCE. DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE
CUT.
T
ell the doctor exactly what fluid was injected.
Note
to Physician
:
Injection in the skin is a traumatic injury
.
It
is important to treat the injury surgically as soon as pos
-
sible. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is
a
concern with some exotic coatings injected directly into the
blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or re-
constructive
hand surgeon may be advisable
.
Spray T
ip 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 Procedure
and
then remove the spray tip to clean it.
NEVER
wipe of
f build–up around the spray tip until pressure
is
fully
relieved and the gun safety latch is engaged.
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 acci
-
dental
triggering of the gun.
Diffuser
The gun diffuser breaks up spray and reduces the risk of fluid
injection
when the tip is not installed. Check dif
fuser operation
regularly. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure , below .
Remove
the spray tip. Aim the gun into a metal pail, holding the
gun
firmly to the pail. Using the lowest possible pressure, trigger
the gun. If the fluid emitted
is not
diffused into an irregular
stream,
replace the dif
fuser immediately
.
T
ip Guard
ALWAYS
have the tip guard
in place on the gun while spraying.
The
tip guard alerts you to the fluid injection hazard and helps
reduce, but does not prevent, the risk of accidentally placing
your
fingers or any part of your body close to the spray tip.
T
rigger Guard
Always
have the trigger guard in place on the gun when spray
-
ing to reduce the risk of accidentally triggering the gun if it is
dropped
or bumped.
MOVING
P
ARTS HAZARD
Moving
parts
can pinch or amputate your fingers or other body
parts.
KEEP CLEAR of moving parts when starting or
operating
the sprayer
. Follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure
, below
, be
-
fore
checking or servicing the sprayer to prevent it from starting
accidentally.
