Paint Sprayer Safety Warnings

1.INJECTION HAZARD!

Although this paint gun is airless, it still puts out paint at a very high pressure. Through improper use, paint can be injected through a person’s skin,

leading to serious injury, possibly amputation.

If paint is accidentally injected into someone’s skin, contact a doctor immediately. Do not treat an injection injury as a simple cut. Injection can lead to amputation and requires immediate surgical treatment.

2.Do not point your sprayer at anyone, including yourself. Do not place your hand in front of

Spray Gun’s nozzle or attempt to deflect paint spray with your hand during use.

Gloves and clothing don’t offer adequate protection from toxic paints, sealers, water-proofers, or stains.

3.Do not come into contact with a fluid stream created by a leak in the paint hose.

4.Engage the Spray Gun’s trigger lock when not spraying.

5.Do not leave Paint Sprayer pressurized while unattended.

6.Do not clean Spray Gun tip while it is still connected to paint hose.

7.Keep the trigger and the electrical cord plug clean and paint-free.

8.Do not run Paint Sprayer while empty. Damage to the unit may occur.

9.Do not use Paint Sprayer to spray asbestos, metallic paints, glazes, red lead, cement, ground chalk,

abrasive grainy paints containing lime, or bleach. These will damage the spray gun and void the warranty.

Note that some of these solvents may be inappropriate for certain kinds of paint; follow the paint supplier’s recommendations. Contact Harbor Freight Tools to request a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
