 • Donotusematerialswithaashpointbelow21°C(70°F).
Flashpoint is the temperature at which a uid can produce
enough vapors to ignite.
 • Uselowestpossiblepressuretoushequipment.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS
Will cause severe injury or property damage.
PREVENTION:
 • Donotusematerialscontainingbleachorchlorine.
 • Donotusehalogenatedhydrocarbonsolventssuchas
methylene chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum and may cause an explosion. If
youareunsureofamaterial’scompatibilitywithaluminum,
contactyourcoating’ssupplier.
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS
Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials
can be harmful if inhaled or come in contact with
body. Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or
poisoning.
PREVENTION:
 • Usearespiratorormaskifvaporscanbeinhaled.Readall
instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will provide
the necessary protection.

HAZARD: GENERAL
This product can cause severe injury or property
damage.
PREVENTION:
 • Readallinstructionsandsafetyprecautionsbeforeoperating
equipment.
 • Followallappropriatelocal,state,andnationalcodes
governing ventilation, re prevention, and operation.
 • Pullingthetriggercausesarecoilforcetothehandthatis
holding the spray gun. The recoil force of the spray gun is
particularly powerful when the tip has been removed and
a high pressure has been set on the airless pump. When
cleaning without a spray tip, set the pressure control knob to
the lowest pressure.
 • Incaseofhighoperatingpressure,pullingthetriggercan
eect a recoil force of up to 15 N. If you are not prepared for
this, your hand can be thrust backwards or your balance lost.
This can lead to injury.
 • Useonlymanufacturerauthorizedparts.Userassumesall
risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the
minimum specications and safety devices of the pump
manufacturer.
 • Beforeeachuse,checkallhosesforcuts,leaks,abrasion
or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of
couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these
conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with
another earthed high-pressure hose.
 • Makesurepowercord,airhoseandsprayhosesareroutedin

hose is discharged through the high-pressure hose. For this
reason the electric resistance between the connections of the
high-pressure hose must be equal or lower than 197 k½/m (60
k½/ft.).
i
For reasons of function, safety and durability use
only original WAGNER high-pressure hoses.
1.2 Earthing Instructions
Electric models must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a
cord having an earthing wire with an appropriate earthing plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and
earthed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DANGER — Improper installation of the earthing
plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair
or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the green earthing wire to either blade
terminal. The wire with insulation having a green
outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the
earthing wire and must be connected to the earthing
pin.
Check with a qualied electrician or serviceman if the earthing
instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as
to whether the product is properly earthed. Do not modify the plug
provided. If the plug will not t the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualied electrician.
Caution – The power cord for this equipment acts as
an emergency stop/emergency switching o device.
The power cord must be placed near an easily
accessible, unobstructed socket-outlet.
