Skin Injection Hazard

WARNING

Spray from the spray tip, hose leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin can also cause can also cause serious injury.

DFluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate surgi- cal treatment!

DDo not point the spray tip at anyone or any part of the body.

DDo not put hand or fingers over the spray tip, and do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove or rag.

DDo not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.

DAlways have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the in-line valve when spraying.

DBe sure the trigger safety lever operates before operating the in-line valve.

DLock the trigger safety lever when you stop spraying.

DFollow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 6 when you are instructed to relieve pressure; stop spraying; check, clean, or service any system equipment; or install or change spray tips.

DTighten all fluid connections before each use.

DCheck the hoses, tubes and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Perma- nently coupled hoses cannot be repaired.

DHandle and route hoses and tubes carefully. Keep hoses and tubes away from moving parts and hot surfaces. Do not use the hoses to pull equipment. Do not expose Graco hoses to temperatures above 150_F (65_C) or below –40_F (–40_C).

TOXIC FLUID HAZARD

Hazardous fluids or toxic fumes can cause a serious injury or death if the fluid is swallowed or splashed in the eyes or on the skin or if the fumes are inhaled.

DKnow the specific hazards of the fluid you are using.

DStore hazardous fluid in an approved container. Dispose hazardous fluid according to all local, state and national guidelines.

DDress appropriately for your application. Wear protective eyewear, noise protection for the ears, a personal respirator, gloves, and clothing.

RECOIL HAZARD

Due to the high pressure fluid emitted, a strong recoil action may occur when you trigger the pole gun. If you are unprepared, your hand could be forced back toward your body or you could lose your bal- ance and fall, resulting in serious injury.
