Skin Injection Hazard

Warnings

WARNING

High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation. Get immediate surgical treatment.

• Do not spray without tip guard and trigger guard installed.

•Engage trigger lock when not spraying.

•Do not point gun at anyone or at any part of the body.

•Do not put your hand over the spray tip.

•Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.

•Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.

•Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

•Check hoses and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

THERMAL EXPANSION HAZARD

Fluids subjected to heat in confined spaces, including hoses, can create a rapid rise in pressure due to the thermal expansion. Over-pressurization can result in equipment rupture and serious injury.

•Open a valve to relieve the fluid expansion during heating.

•Replace hoses proactively at regular intervals based on your operating conditions.

PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD

Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and cause serious injury.

•Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.

•Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

•Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately.

TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD

Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or swallowed.

•Read MSDSs to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.

•Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.

•Always wear chemically impermeable gloves when spraying, dispensing, or cleaning equipment.
