HAZARD: INjECTION INjuRy
A high pressure stream produced by this equipment
can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to
serious injury and possible amputation.
DO NOT TREAT AN INjECTION INjuRy AS A SIMPLE
CuT! Injection can lead to amputation. See a
physician immediately.
The maximum operating range of the unit is 193 bar
(19.3 MPa, 2800 PSI) fluid pressure.
PREVENTION:
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• 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 fluid pump off and
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip guard,
changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be
released by turning off the engine. 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 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.
• 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 working trigger lock and
trigger guard in place.
• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum
operating pressure range of the sprayer. This includes spray
tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
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.
