Important Safety Information
·
Read all safety information before
operating the equipment. SavE ThESE INSTRucTIONS.
English
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 pressure of the spray gun is 3600 PSI / 24.8
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 2800 PSI / 19 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 20 feet (6.1 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.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint
below 70ºF (21ºC). 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.
