1.1 Explanation of symbols used
This manual contains information that must be read and understood
before using the equipment. When you come to an area that has one
of the following symbols, pay particular attention and make certain to
heed the safeguard.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard that

safety information will follow.
Attention
This symbol indicates a potential hazard to you
or to the equipment. Important information that
tells how to prevent damage to the equipment or
how to avoid causes of minor injuries will follow.
Danger of skin injection
Danger of re from solvent and paint fumes
Danger of explosion from solvent, paint fumes
and incompatible materials
Danger of injury from inhalation of harmful
vapors
i
Notes give important information which should
be given special attention.
Refer to the operating manual for additional
safety instructions.
HAZARD: INJECTION INJURY
A high pressure stream produced by this equipment
can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to
serious injury and possible amputation.
DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE
CUT! Injection can lead to amputation. See a
physician immediately.
The maximum operating range of the unit is 214 bar
(21.4 MPa, 3100 PSI) uid pressure.
PREVENTION:
 • NEVERaimthegunatanypartofthebody.
 • NEVERallowanypartofthebodytotouchtheuidstream.
DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the uid hose.
 • NEVERputyourhandinfrontofthegun.Gloveswillnot
provide protection against an injection injury.
 • ALWAYSlocktheguntrigger,shuttheuidpumpoand
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip guard,
changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be
releasedbyturningotheengine.ThePRIME/SPRAYvalve
or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate
positions to relieve system pressure.
 • ALWAYSkeeptipguardinplacewhilespraying.Thetipguard
provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.
 • ALWAYSremovethespraytipbeforeushingorcleaningthe
system.
 • Thepainthosecandevelopleaksfromwear,kinkingand
abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect the
hose before each use.
 • NEVERuseaspraygunwithoutaworkingtriggerlockand
trigger guard in place.
 • Allaccessoriesmustberatedatorabovethemaximum
operating pressure range of the sprayer. This includes spray
tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is important to
treat the injury as soon as possible. DO NOT delay treatment
to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some coatings
injected directly into the blood stream. Consultation with
a plastic surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be
advisable.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.
Severe injury and/or property damage can occur.
PREVENTION:
 • Donotusetheunitinworkplaceswhicharecoveredtothe
explosion protection regulations.
 • Provideextensiveexhaustandfreshairintroductionto
keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of
ammable vapors.
 • Avoidallignitionsourcessuchasstaticelectricitysparks,
electrical appliances, ames, pilot lights, hot objects, and
sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or
working light switches.
 • Plasticcancausestaticsparks.Neverhangplastictoenclose
spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when spraying
ammable materials.
 • Alwaysushunitintoseparatemetalcontainer,atlowpump
pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun rmly against side
of container to ground container and prevent static sparks.
 • Whencleaningtheunitwithsolvents,thesolventshould
never be sprayed or pumped back into a container with a
small opening (bunghole). An explosive gas/air mixture can be
produced. The container must be earthed..
 • Donotsmokeinsprayarea.
 • Fireextinguishermustbepresentandingoodworkingorder.
 • Placesprayeratleast6.1m(20feet)fromthesprayobject
in a well ventilated area (add more hose if necessary).
Flammable vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area must
be extremely well ventilated. The pump contains arcing parts
that emit sparks and can ignite vapors.
 • Theequipmentandobjectsinandaroundthesprayareamust
be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.
 • Useonlyconductiveorearthedhighpressureuidhose.Gun
must be earthed through hose connections.
 • Powercordmustbeconnectedtoagroundedcircuit(electric
units only).
 • Theunitmustbeconnectedtoanearthedobject.Usethe
green earthing wire to connect the unit to a water pipe, steel
beam, or other electrically earthed surface.
 • Followmaterialandsolventmanufacturer’swarningsand
instructions.Befamiliarwiththecoatingmaterial’sMSDS
