HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS
Paints, solvents, and other materials can be
harmful if inhaled or come in contact with body.
Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or
poisoning.
PREVENTION:
•
Wear respiratory protection when spraying. Read all
instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will
provide the necessary protection.
•
All local regulations regarding protection against
hazardous vapors must be observed.
•
Wear protective eyewear.
•
Protective clothing, gloves and possibly skin protection
cream are necessary for the protection of the skin. Observe
the regulations of the manufacturer concerning coating
materials, solvents and cleaning agents in preparation,
processing and cleaning units.
HAZARD: GENERAL
This product can cause severe injury or property
damage.
PREVENTION:
•
Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
•
Pulling the trigger causes a recoil force to the hand that is
holding the spray gun. The recoil force of the spray gun
is particularly powerful when the tip has been removed
and high pressure has been set on the airless pump. When
cleaning without a spray tip, set the pressure control knob
to the lowest pressure.
•
Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all
risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the
minimum specifications and safety devices of the pump
manufacturer.
•
ALWAYS follow the material manufacturer’s instructions
for safe handling of paint and solvents.
•
Clean up all material and solvent spills immediately to
prevent slip hazard.
•
Wear ear protection. This unit can produce noise levels
above 85 dB(A).
•
Never leave this equipment unattended. Keep away from
children or anyone not familiar with the operation of airless
equipment.
•
Do not spray on windy days.
•
The device and all related liquids (i.e. hydraulic oil) must be
disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
1.3
SETUP ON AN UNEVEN SURFACE
The front end must always point downwards in order to avoid
sliding away.
If possible do not use the unit on an inclined surface since the
unit tends to wander due to the resulting vibrations.
1.4
ELECTRIC SAFETY
Electric models must be grounded/earthed. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding/earthing reduces
the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having
an grounding/earthing wire with an appropriate grounding/
earthing plug. Connection to the power cord only through a
special feed point, e.g. through an error protection insallation
with INF < 30 mA.
DANGER — Work or repairs at the electrical
equipment may only be carried out by a skilled
electrician. No liability is assumed for incorrect
installation. Switch the unit off. Before all repair
work, unplug the power plug from the outlet.
Danger of short-circuits caused by water
ingressing into the electrical equipment. Never
spray down the unit with high-pressure or high-
pressure steam cleaners.
1.5
GASOLINE ENGINE SAFETY
1.
Gas engines are designed to give safe and dependable
service if operated according to instructions. Read and
understand the engine manufacturer’s Owner’s Manual
before operating the engine. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury or equipment damage.
2.
To prevent fire hazards and to provide adequate
ventilation, keep the engine at least 1 meter (3 feet) away
from buildings and other equipment during operation. Do
not place flammable objects close to the engine.
