You can

create dust when you cut,
sand, drill or grind materi-
als such as wood, paint,
metal, concrete, cement, or other
masonry. This dust often contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
Wear protective gear.

WORK AREA

Never spray closer than
25 feet to the compres-
sor! If possible, locate
compressor in separate
room. Never spray into
the compressor, compressor controls
or the motor.

Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of
open flame or near ignition
sources. 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 vicini-
ty of the compressor.

Do not smoke or eat when spraying
paint, insecticides, or other flamma-
ble substances.

Keep hose away from sharp objects.
Bursting air hoses may cause injury.
Examine air hoses regularly and
replace if damaged. 

Always work in a clean environment.
To avoid injury and damage to the
workpiece, do not aim the spray gun
at any dust or debris.

Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children or pets in the work area.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Use a face mask/respira-
tor and protective cloth-
ing when spraying.
Always spray in a well
ventilated area to pre-
vent health and fire hazards. Refer
to Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS) of spray material for details.

Always wear eye 
protection

Never use oxygen, corbon dioxide,
combustible gases or any bottled gas
as an air source for the spray gun.
Such gases are capable of explosion
and serious injury to persons.

Do not misuse this product. Excessive
exposure to vibration, work in awk-
ward positions, and repetitive work
motions can cause injury to hands and
arms. Stop using any tool if discom-
fort, numbness, tingling or pain occur,
and consult a physician.

Never aim or spray at yourself or any-
one else or serious injury could occur.

Do not spray acids, corrosive materi-
als, toxic chemicals, fertilizers or pes-
ticides. Using these materials could
result in death or serious injury.
