• 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 clleaning
the system.
• 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.
• NEVER use a spray gun without a trigger lock and trigger
guard in place and in good working order.
• All accessories must be rated at or above 3300 PSI / 228
BAR. This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes
can explode or ignite. Severe injury and/or
property damage can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to keep
the air within the spray area free from accumulation of
flammable vapors.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electric sparks, open
flames, pilot lights, and hot objects. Connecting or
disconnecting power cords or working light switches can
make sparks.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working
order.
• Place paint pump in a well ventilated area. Flammable
vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area must be
extremely well ventilated. The paint pump contains arcing
parts that emit spark and can ignite vapors.
• The equipment and objects in and around the spray area
must be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.
• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hose.
Gun must be grounded through hose connections.
• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit
(electric models only).
• 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.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint
below 70° F (21° C). 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.
GAS ENGINE (WHERE APPLICABLE)
Always place pump outside of structure in fresh air. Keep all
solvents away from the engine exhaust. Never fill fuel tank with
a running or hot engine. Hot surface can ignite spilled fuel.
Always attach ground wire from pump unit to a grounded object,
such as a metal water pipe. Refer to engine owner’s manual for
complete safety information.
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: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS - Will cause severe injury or property
damage.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as
mildewcide, methylene chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane.
They are not compatible with aluminum.
• Contact your coating supplier about the compatibility of
material with aluminum.
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: GENERAL - This product can cause severe injury
or property damage.
PREVENTION:
• Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating
equipment.
• Always disconnect the motor from the power supply before
working on the equipment (electric models only).
• Follow 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.
• Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all
risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the
minimum specifications and safety devices of the pump
manufacturer.
• 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 grounded high-pressure hose.
• All hoses, swivels, guns, and accessories must be pressure
rated at or above 3300PSI/228 BAR.
• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
• Wear clothing to keep paint off skin and hair.
