SAFETY HAZARDS

HAZARD: 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.
