WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:

• Sprayer generates sparks. Do not spray or flush with flammable liquids.

• Use only water-based or oil-based (mineral spirit-type) materials with a flash point greater than 100° F (38° C).

• Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.

•Use oil-based material outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor area with a flow of fresh air.

•Do not spray or flush with combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition.

•Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes. Keep sprayer at least 10 in. (25 cm) away from objects while spraying or flushing.

•Do not smoke in the spray area.

•Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray area.

•Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable materials.

•Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvents manufacturer’s safety instructions.

•Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

This equipment must be grounded. Improper grounding, setup, or usage of the system can cause electric shock.

• Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.

•Connect only to grounded electrical outlets.

• Use only 3-wire extension cords.

•Ensure ground prongs are intact on power and extension cords.

•Do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.

• Do not aim the sprayer at, or spray any person or animal.

• Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the body.

•Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly.

•Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without nozzle tip guard in place.

•Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for relieving the pressure before removing the nozzle tip to clean.

•Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the unit and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit.

•Check parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged parts.

•This system is capable of producing 2000 psi. Use replacement parts or accessories that are rated a minimum of 2000 psi.

•Do not carry the tool with a finger on the trigger.

•Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit.

•Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.
