WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
HAZARD
Risk of flying objects
Certain parts are under pressure whenever the gun is connected to a
pressurized air line. These parts may be propelled if the gun is
disassembled.
Compressed air may propel dirt, metal shavings, etc. and possibly
cause an injury and/or damage to the workpiece.
Prolonged exposure to air spray can result in permanent damage to
hearing.
Disconnect the gun from the air line, or completely depressurize the
air line whenever the gun is to be disassembled.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward a person or part of the body.
Always wear ANSI 278.1 safety approved goggles or glasses when
spraying.
Always work in a clean environment. Do not aim the spray gun at any
dust of debris.
Always wear hearing protection when operating spray equipment.

HOW TO PREVENT IT
HAZARD
Risk of injection
Spray guns operate at pressures and velocities high enough to
penetrate human and animal flesh, which could result in amputation or
other serious injury.
See a physician immediately!
Never place hands in front of nozzle.
Direct spray away from self and others.

HOW TO PREVENT IT
HAZARD
Risk of bursting
Do not use pressure that exceeds the operating pressure of any of the
parts (hoses, fittings, etc.) in the painting system.
Keep hose away from sharp objects. Bursting air hoses may cause
injury.
Examine air hoses regularly and replace if damaged.
Always use a pressure regulator on the air supply to the spray gun.
Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools, spray guns, air operated
accessories, tires, and other inflatables can cause them to explode or
fly apart, and could result in serious injury.

WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
HAZARD
Risk of explosion or fire - flammable materials
When paints or materials are sprayed, they are broken into very small
particles and mixed with air. This will cause certain paints and
materials to become extremely flammable and could result in serious
injury or death.
Never spray closer than 25 feet to the air compressor! Motors,
electrical equipment and controls can cause electrical arcs that will
ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never store flammable liquids or
gases in the vicinity of the compressor. If possible, locate the air
compressor in separate room. Never spray into compressor,
compressor controls or the motor.
Never spray near open flames or pilot lights in stoves or heaters.
Never smoke or eat while spraying paint, insecticides, or other
flammable substances.
Provide ample ventilation when spraying indoors.
To reduce the risk of static sparking, grounding continuity to the spray
equipment and the object being sprayed must be maintained.
When spraying and cleaning, always follow the instructions and safety
precautions provided by the material manufacturer (Refer to MSDS)
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
HAZARD
Risk of explosion - incompatible materials
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as 1,1,1-Trichloroethane and
Methylene Chloride can chemically react with the aluminum used in
most spray equipment, and this gun and cup, to produce an explosion
hazard and could result in serious injury or death.
Read the label or data sheet for the material you intend to spray.
1. Never use any type of spray coating material containing these
solvents.
2. Never use these solvents for equipment cleaning or flushing.
3. If in doubt as to whether a material is compatible, contact your
material supplier.

HOW TO PREVENT IT
HAZARD
Risk of breathing
Some paints, coatings and solvents may cause lung damage, and
burns if inhaled or allowed to come into contact with skin or eyes.
Spraying of some organic solvents can cause intoxication and serious
damage to health.
Do not spray acids, corrosive materials, toxic chemicals, fertilizers or
pesticides. Using these materials could result in death or serious
injury.
Use a NIOSH approved mask or respirator and protective clothing
designed for use with your specific application and spray materials.
Some masks provide only limited protection against toxic materials
and harmful paint solvent. Consult with a Safety Expert or Industrial
Hygienist if uncertain about your equipment or materials.
Use the spray gun in well-ventilated areas.
Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children or pets in the work area.
