WARNING – To reduce the risk of skin injection:

HAZARD:

Injection injury – A high pressure fluid stream produced by this

equipment can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading

to a serious injury and possible amputation. See a physician

immediately. DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION AS A SIMPLE CUT.

 1. Donotaimthegunat,orsprayanypersonoranimal.
