WARNING: INJECTION INJURY
A high pressure stream produced by this
equipment can pierce the skin and underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation.
Do not treat a spraying injury as a harmless cut. In
case of injury to the skin through coating materials
or solvents, consult a doctor immediately for
quick and expert treatment. Inform the doctor
about the coating material or solvent used.
PREVENTION:
•
NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
•
NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream.
DO NOT allow body to touch 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 engine. The PRIME/SPRAY valve
or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate
positions to relieve system pressure.
•
ALWAYS keep tip guard in place while spraying. The tip
guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning
device.
•
ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning
the system.
•
NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and
trigger guard in place.
•
All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum
operating pressure range of the sprayer. This includes
spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
WARNING: HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
The paint hose can develop leaks from wear,
kinking and abuse. A leak can inject material into
the skin. Inspect the hose before each use.
PREVENTION:
•
Avoid sharp bending or kinking of the high-pressure hose.
The smallest bending radius amounts to about 20 cm.
•
Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against
sharp objects and edges.
•
Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately.
•
Never repair damaged high-pressure hoses yourself!
•
Electrostatic charging of spray guns and the high-pressure
hose is discharged through the high-pressure hose. For this
reason the electric resistance between the connections of
the high-pressure hose must be equal to or lower than
1MΩ.
•
For reasons of function, safety and durability use only
original Titan high-pressure hoses.
•
Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion
or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of
couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these
conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with
another earthed high-pressure hose.
•
Make sure power cord, air hose and spray hoses are routed
in such a manner to minimize slip, trip and fall hazard.
•
Do not expose the hose to temperatures or pressures in
excess of those specified by the manufacturer.
•
Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the
equipment.
WARNING: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Flammable vapors, such as solvent and paint
vapors, in work area can ignite or explode.
PREVENTION:
•
Use equipment only in well ventilated area. Keep a good
supply of fresh air moving through the area to keep the air
within the spray area free from accumulation of flammable
vapors. Keep pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do
not spray pump assembly.
•
Electric models only - Do not use materials with a flashpoint
below 38º C (100º F). Flashpoint is the temperature at which
a fluid can produce enough vapors to ignite.
•
Gas models only - Do not fill fuel tank while engine is
running or hot; shut off engine and allow to cool. Fuel is
flammable and can ignite or explode if spilled on a hot
surface.
•
Eliminate all ignition sources, such as pilot lights, cigarettes,
portable electric lamps and plastic drop cloths (potential
static arc).
•
Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and
gasoline.
•
Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light
switches on or off when flammable vapors are present.
•
Ground equipment and conductive objects in work
area. Make sure the grounding cable (not equipped) is
connected from the grounding lug to a true earth ground.
