SAFETY WARNINGS
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, EXPLOSION, FIRE, OR ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN OCCUR IF THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW ARE NOT FOLLOWED.
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTION MANUALS, TAGS, AND WARNING LABELS BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT.
ELECTROSTATIC EQUIPMENT SHALL ONLY BE USED BY TRAINED, QUALIFIED PERSONNEL WHO SHALL BE FULLY CONVERSANT WITH THE REQUIREMENTS STATED WITHIN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
General Safety
Any misuse of the spray equipment or accessories, such as overpres- surizing, modifying parts, using incompatible chemicals and fluids, or us- ing worn or damaged parts, can cause them to rupture and result in seri- ous bodily injury, fire, explosion or property damage.
NEVER point the spray gun at anyone or at any part of the body. NEVER put hand or fingers over the fluid nozzle.
ALWAYS follow the Pressure Relief Procedure, at right, before cleaning or removing the fluid nozzle or servicing any system equipment.
NEVER try to stop or deflect leaks with your hand or body.
NEVER alter or modify any part of this equipment; doing so could cause it to malfunction.
CHECK all spray equipment regularly and repair or replace worn or dam- aged parts immediately.
Fluid Compatibility
BE SURE all fluids and solvents used are chemically compatible with the ªWettedPartsº shown in the TECHNICAL DATA. Always read the fluid and solvent manufacturer's literature before using the fluid or solvent in this gun.
Pressure Relief Procedure
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, including splashing in the eyes or on the skin, injury from moving parts or electric shock, always follow this procedure when shutting off the system, when checking or servicing any part of the spray system, when installing, cleaning or changing fluid nozzles, and whenever you stop spraying.
1.Turn the ES On±Off valve lever to OFF.
2.Turn off the air and fluid supply to the gun.
3.Trigger the gun into a grounded metal waste container to relieve fluid pressure.
System Pressure
This gun has a maximum working air and fluid pressure of 7 bar (100 psi). Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the gun or any other component or accessory used in the system.
4.Open the pump drain valve, having a waste container ready to catch the drainage.
5.Leave the pump drain valve open until you are ready to spray again.
HAZARDOUS FLUID HAZARD
Improper handling of hazardous fluids or inhaling vapors can cause extremely serious bodily injury, even death, due to splashing in the eyes, ingestion, inhalation, or bodily contamination.
Be sure you know what fluid you are pumping and its specific hazards. Observe all precautions when handling known or potentially hazardous fluids, including, but not limited to, the following.
1.Store hazardous fluids in approved containers.
2.Dispose of any waste fluid according to all Local, State and Federal regulations pertaining to the disposal of hazardous wastes.
3.Read and follow the fluid and solvent manufacturer's literature re- garding the use of protective clothing and equipment such as eye pro- tection, respiratory protection, and gloves.
4.Provide for the safe piping and disposal of all exhaust air.
5.Provide proper ventilation in accordance with accepted industry standards and governmental regulations. Refer to Ventilate the Spray Booth, on page 7.
HOSE SAFETY
TIGHTEN all fluid connections securely before each use.
NEVER use a damaged hose. Before each use, check the entire hose for cuts, leaks, abrasion, bulging cover, or damage or movement of the hose couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately.
HANDLE AND ROUTE HOSES CAREFULLY. Do not pull on hoses to move equipment. Do not use fluids or solvents which are not compatible with the inner tube and cover of the hose.
