WARNING
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
You must wear proper protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in the operating area of
the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including eye injury, inhalation of toxic fumes,
burns, and hearing loss. This equipment includes but is not limited to:
•
Protective eyewear
•
Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer
•
Gloves
•
Hearing protection.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or
swallowed.
•
Read Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
•
Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
High-pressure fluid from gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components will pierce skin. This may look like just
a cut, but it is a serious injury that can result in amputation.
Get immediate surgical treatment.
•
Do not point the gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
•
Do not put your hand or fingers over the gun fluid nozzle.
•
Do not stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
•
Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.
•
Follow
Pressure Relief Procedure
, page 15, when you stop spraying and before cleaning, check-
ing, or servicing equipment.
•
Use lowest possible pressure when flushing, priming, or troubleshooting.
•
Engage piston safety lock when not spraying.
•
Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.
•
Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts immediately. High pres-
sure hose cannot be recoupled; replace the entire hose.
BURN HAZARD
Equipment surfaces and fluid that’s heated can become very hot during operation. To avoid severe
burns, do not touch hot fluid or equipment. Wait until equipment/fluid has cooled completely.
