WARNINGS

Pressurized Equipment Hazard

Fluid from gun, leaks or ruptured components can splash in the eyes or on skin and cause serious injury.

• Follow Pressure Relief Procedure, page 3 when you stop spraying and before cleaning, checking or servicing.

• Do not point spray gun at anyone; put hand, fingers or rag over nozzle, or stop or deflect leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.

• Wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear.

Cleaning Solvent Hazard with Plastic Parts

Use only compatible water-based solvents to clean plastic structural or pressure-containing parts. Many solvents can degrade plastic parts to the point where they could fail. Such failure could cause serious injury or property damage. See Technical Data on page of this instruction manual and in all other equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.

Sprayer Warnings

For sprayer operation and warning information refer to your sprayer or compressor operation manual.

Pressure Relief Procedure

To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, includ-

ing electric shock and splashing fluid in eyes, follow this procedure whenever you stop spraying:

1. Shut OFF air source.

2. Disconnect power source.

3. Turn gun air valve ON.

Grounding

To reduce risk of electrical shock, proper

electrical grounding is essential. See your sprayer or compressor instruction manual and consult your local electrical codes for detailed grounding instructions.
