WARNING

HAZARD: INJECTION INJURY - A high pressure stream of paint produced by this equipment can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation.

DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT! Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician immediately.

PREVENTION:

•The maximum operating range of the unit is 2750 PSI fluid pressure.

•NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.

•NEVER allow any part of the body to come in contact with the fluid stream. DO NOT come in contact with a fluid stream created by a leak in the fluid hose.

•NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide protection against an injection injury.

•ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the fluid pump off and release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip guard, changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be released by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY knob must be turned to PRIME to relieve the pressure. Refer to the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described in this manual.

•ALWAYS have the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip guard provides some protection against injection injuries but is mainly a warning device.

•ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the system.

•The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak is capable of injecting material into the skin. Inspect the paint hose before each use.

•NEVER use a spray gun which does not have a trigger lock or trigger guard in place and in working order.

•All accessories must be rated at or above 2750 PSI. This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.

•In case of a skin injection, see a physician immediately.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:

Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury surgically as soon as possible. DO NOT delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some coatings injected directly into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite, causing property damage and/or severe injury.

PREVENTION:

•Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided to keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of flammable vapors.

•Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks, open flames, pilot lights, hot objects, cigarettes, and sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or working light switches.

•Fire extinguishing equipment must be present and in good working order.

•Keep the unit in a well ventilated location away from the spray area to avoid solvent and paint fumes. The pump contains arcing parts which emit sparks.

•High velocity flow of material through equipment may develop static electricity. The equipment being used, as well as objects in and around the spray area, must be properly grounded to prevent static discharge and sparks.

•Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hoses for airless applications. Be sure that the gun is grounded properly through hose connections.

•The power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.

•Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint below 70° F (21° C). A fluid’s flashpoint is the temperature at which vapors from the fluid could ignite if exposed to a flame or spark.

•Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's safety precautions and warnings.

•When flushing equipment use the lowest possible pressure.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS- May cause property damage or severe injury.

PREVENTION:

•Do not use bleach.

•Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as methylene chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum and may cause an explosion. If you are unsure of a material’s compatibility with aluminum, contact your coating's supplier.

HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS - Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials may be harmful if inhaled, causing severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.

PREVENTION:

•Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled. Read all instructions with the mask to ensure that it will provide the necessary protection against the inhalation of harmful vapors.

HAZARD: GENERAL - May cause property damage or severe injury.

PREVENTION:

•Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating any equipment.

•Comply with all appropriate local, state, and national codes governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.

•The United States Government Safety Standards have been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). These standards, particularly part 1910 of the General Standards and part 1926 of the Construction Standards should be consulted.

•This high pressure airless pump is designed to be used with manufacturer authorized parts only. When using this pump with parts that do not comply with the minimum specifications and safety devices of the pump manufacturer, the user assumes all risks and liabilities.

•Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of cover, as well as damage or movement of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with another grounded hose.

•All hoses, swivels, guns, and accessories used with this unit must be pressure rated at or above 2750 PSI.

•Do not spray on windy days.

•Wear protective eyewear.
