WARNINGS
High
Pressure Spray Can Cause Serious Injury
. For Professional Use Only.
Observe All W
arnings. Read and understand all instruction manuals before operating equipment.
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 inju
-
ry, 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 any one or at any part of the body
.
NEVER
put your 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.
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 possible.
Do
not
delay treatment to research toxicity
.
T
oxicity is a concern
with some exotic coatings injected directly into the blood
stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or reconstructive
hand
surgeon may be advisable.
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 injury
.
Safety Latch
Whenever you stop spraying, even for a moment, always set
the
trigger 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 fluid
injection
when the tip is not installed. Check dif
fuser operation
regularly
. Follow the
Pressure Relief Procedure
, below
, then
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 spray 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.
Trigger
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.
Spray T
ip Safety
Use extreme caution when cleaning or changing spray tips. If
the spray tip clogs while spraying, engage the trigger safety
latch
immediately
. AL
WAYS
follow the
Pressure Relief Proce
-
dure,
below, and then remove the spray tip to clean it.
NEVER
wipe of
f build–up around the spray tip until the pressure
is
fully relieved and the gun safety is engaged.
PRESSURE
RELIEF
PROCEDURE
To reduce the risk of serious injury, including fluid injection,
splashing
fluid or
solvent in the eyes or on the skin, or injury from
moving parts or electric shock, always follow this procedure
whenever

, when
checking or servicing
any
part of the spray system, when installing, cleaning or chang
-
ing
spray tips, and whenever you stop spraying.
1
Engage the trigger safety latch.
2
T
urn the engine ON/OFF switch to OFF
.
3
Flip the pressure control switch to OFF
.
4 Disengage the trigger safety latch. Hold a metal part of the
gun
firmly to the side of a grounded metal pail, and trigger the
gun
to relieve pressure.
5
Engage the trigger safety latch.
6 Open the pressure drain valve. Leave the valve open until
you
are ready to spray again.
7
Disconnect the spark plug cable.
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,
VER
Y SLOWL
