Important Safety Information

This symbol indicates a hazardous situation,
which, if not not avoided could result in death or
serious injury.
To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical
shock and the injury to persons, read and
understand all instructions included in this manual.
Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of
the equipment.
haZaRD: INjEcTION INjuRy
A high pressure paint stream produced by this
equipment can pierce the skin and underlying
tissues, leading to serious injury and possible
amputation. See a physician immediately.
DO NOT TREaT aN INjEcTION INjuRy aS a SIMPLE
cuT! Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician
immediately.
The maximum operating range of the sprayer is 3300 PSI / 22.8
MPa fluid pressure.
PREvENTION:
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
• 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 pump off, and
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip or
guard, changing tip, or leaving unattended. Pressure will
not be released by turning off the motor. The PRIME/
SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must be turned to
their appropriate positions to relieve system pressure.
Refer to the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
described in this manual.
• ALWAYS keep the 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.
• Paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and
abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect
the hose before each use. Do not use hose to lift or pull
equipment.
• NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and
trigger guard in place.
• All accessories must be rated at or above 3300 PSI / 22.8
MPa. This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
• Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while
unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the unit and
relieve the pressure in accordance with the PRESSURE
RELIEF PROCEDURE described in this manual.
• Verify that all connections are secure before operating the
unit. Unsecured parts may eject at great force or leak a
high pressure fluid stream causing severe injury.
• Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify
the trigger lock is functioning properly.
NOTE TO PhySIcIaN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is important
to treat the injury 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: haZaRDOuS vaPORS
Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials
can be harmful if inhaled or come in contact with the
body. Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or
poisoning.
PREvENTION:
• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be
inhaled. Read all instructions supplied
with the mask to be sure it will provide the
necessary protection.
• Wear protective eyewear.
• Wear protective clothing as required by coating manufacturer.
haZaRD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.
Property damage and/or severe injury can occur.
PREvENTION:
• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air
introduction to keep the air within the spray area free from
accumulation of flammable vapors. Solvent and paint
fumes can explode or ignite.
• Do not spray in a confined area.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electric sparks,
open flames, pilot lights, electrical appliances, and hot
objects. Connecting or disconnecting power cords or
working light switches can make sparks. Paint or solvent
flowing through the equipment is able to result in static
electricity.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working
order.
• Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) from the
spray object in a well ventilated area (add more hose if
necessary). Flammable vapors are often heavier than air.
Floor area must be extremely well ventilated. The pump
contains arcing parts that emit sparks and can ignite vapors.
• The equipment and objects in and around the spray area
must be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers,
rags and other flammable materials.
• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hose.
Gun must be grounded through hose connections.
• For electric units — power cord must be connected to a
grounded circuit.
• Always flush unit into a separate metal container, at low
pump pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly
against side of container to ground container and prevent
static sparks.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's warnings
and instructions. Know the contents of the paints and
solvents being sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) and container labels provided with
the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvent
manufacturer's safety instructions.
• Do not spray or clean with liquids having a flash point of
less than 21ºC (70ºF). Flashpoint is the temperature that a
fluid can produce enough vapors to ignite.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose a spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying flammable materials.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
• Do not spray onto pump assembly.
