WARNING
HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. For professional use only. Observe
all warnings. Read and understand all instruction manuals before operating equipment.
FLUID INJECTION HAZARD
General Safety
This equipment generates very high fluid pressure. Spray from the gun, leaks or ruptured components can inject fluid through your skin and into your body and cause extremely serious bodily injury, including the need for amputation. Fluid injected or splashed into the eyes or on the skin can cause serious damage.
NEVER point the spray gun at anyone or at any part of the body. NEVER put hand or fingers over the spray tip. NEVER try to "blow back" paint; this is NOT an air spray system.
ALWAYS have the tip guard on the spray gu n when spraying.
ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, below, before cleaning or removing the spray tip or servicing any system equipment.
NEVER try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body.
Be sure equipment safety devices are operating properly before each use.
Medical
If any fluid appears to penetrate your skin, get EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE AT ONCE. DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT. Tell the doctor exactly what fluid was injected.
Note to Phys/cilln: Injection in the skin is a traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury surgically 8S soon as possible. Do not delay treatment to research toxicity. Tox- icity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected directly into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.
Spray Gun Safety Devices
Be sure all gun safety devices are operating properly before each use. Do not remove or modify any part of the gun; this can cause a malfunction and result in serious bodily injury.
Safety Latch
Whenever you stop spraying, even for a moment, always set the gun safety latch in the closed or "safe" position, making the gun inoperative. Failure to set the safety latch can result in accidental triggering of the gun.
Diffuser
The gun diffuser breaks up spray and reduces the risk of fluid injection when the tip is not installed. Check diffuser operation regularly. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, below, then remove the spray tip. Aim the gun into a metal pail, holding the gun firmly to the pail. Using the lowest possible pressure, trigger the gun. If the fluid emitted is not diffused in- to an irregular stream, replace the diffuser immediately.
Tip Guard
ALWAYS have the tip guard in place on the spray gun while spraying. The tip guard alerts you to the fluid injection hazard and helps reduce, but does not prevent, accidentally placing your fingers or any part of your body close to the spray tip.
Trigger Guard
Always have the trigger guard in place on the gun when spray- ing to reduce the risk of accidentally triggering the gun if it is dropped or bumped.
Spray Tip Safety
Use extreme caution when cleaning or changing spray tips. If the spray tip clogs while spraying, engage the gun safety latch immediately. ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Pro- cedure and then remove the spray tip to clean it.
NEVER wipe off
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including fluid injection, splashing in the eyes or on the skin, or injury from moving parts, always follow this procedure whenever you shut off the sprayer, when checking or servicing any part of the spray system, when installing, cleaning or changing spray tips, and whenever you stop spraying. (1) Engage the gun safety latch. (2) Open the bypass valve. (3) Depress the engine stop button. (4) Close the fuel shutoff valve. (5) Disengage the gun safety latch and hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved after following the steps above, VERY SLOWLY loosen the tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling and relieve pressure gradually, then loosen
completely. Now clear the tip or hose. | /4 | 5 |
