2.  Safety

 

^

YOU

 are responsible for the 

SAFE

 operation and 

maintenance  of  your  Fast  Manufacturing,  Inc.  Sprayer. 

YOU must ensure that you and anyone else who is going 

to operate, maintain or work around the Sprayer be familiar 

with the operating and maintenance procedures and related 

SAFETY

 information contained in this manual. This manual 

will  take  you  step-by-step  through  your  working  day  and 

alerts you to good safety practices that should be adhered 

to while operating the sprayer.

Remember, 

YOU

 are the key to safety. Good safety practices 

not only protect you but also the people around you. Make 

these practices a working part of your safety program. 

Be certain that 

EVERYONE

  operating  this  equipment  is 

familiar with the recommended operating and maintenance 

procedures and follows all the safety precautions. Most 

accidents can be prevented. Do not risk injury or death by 

ignoring good safety practices.

•  Sprayer  owners  must  give  operating  instructions 

to operators or employees before allowing them to 

operate the unit, and at least annually thereafter per 

OSHA regulation 1928.57.

•  The most important safety device on this equipment is a 

SAFE

 operator. It is the operator’s responsibility to read 

and understand 

ALL

 Safety and Operating instructions 

in the manual and to follow these. All accidents can be 

avoided.

• 

A person who has not read and understood all operating 

and  safety  instructions  is  not  qualified  to  operate  the 

machine. An untrained operator exposes himself and 

bystanders to possible serious injury or death.

•  Do not modify the equipment in any way. Unauthorized 

modification may impair the function and/or safety and 

could affect the life of the equipment.
