During cleaning and flushing, solvents can be forcefully expelled from fluid and air passages which may cause eye injury. Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact resistant eye and face protection. Even small objects can injure eyes and cause

blindness. Before changing accessories, when making repairs, and or when tool is not in use,

always first shut off air supply and release / drain air pressure from hose. Then disconnect tool from air supply or hose and store in a safe location.

Always have control of the air hose. Never direct air at yourself of anyon else. Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses

and fittings. Never use quick change couplings at tool. They add weight and could fail due to vibration. Instead,add a hose whip connect coupling between air supply and hose whip ,or between hose whip and leader hose.

Always use the tool at a safe distance from other people in the work ares and ensure work area is safe at all times.

Do not allow children to operate tool. Maintain tools with care.Keep tools clean and oiled for best and safest performance.

Follow instruction for lubricating and changing accessories. Wiping or cleaning rages and other flammable waste materials must be placed in a tightly closed metal container, and disposed of in a proper manner.

Keep proper footing at all times , do not overreach , as slipping ,tripping, and or falling can be a major cause of serious injury and or death.Be aware of excess hose left in the working area or work surface. Do not abuse hoses or connectors. Never carry the tool by the hose or yank it to disconnect it from power supply. Keep hoses away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Check hoses for weak or worn connections before each use and make certain that al connections are secure.

Whenever possible ,secure work with clamps or vise so both hands can be free to operate the tool.

Repetitive motions, awkward positions and exposure to vibration can be harmful to hands and arms. Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air free of toxic materials. Use proper work clothing to avoid direct skin contact. Use a proper respirator whenever possible, hands and arms. or if there is a chance of inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must

be compatible with the material(s) being sprayed. Contact the material supplier for further details. Solvent and coatings can be highly combustible especially when sprayed.

High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Wear ear protection.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep air free of flammable vapors. Do not smoke in or near the work area. Always keep a fire extinguisher present in the

work area. Always have control of the air hose.

Never spray near sources of ignition such as pilot lights, welders, and etc. Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents,for example,methylene chloride ,are not chemically

compatible with the aluminum that might be used in many system components. The chemical reaction caused by these solvents reacting with aluminum can become dangerous and lead to an equipment explosion.Guns with stainless steel fluid passages may be used with these solvents. However, aluminum is widely used in other spray applicationequipment such as material pumps, cups and regulators, valves, and etc. Check all other equipment items before use and make sure they can also be used safely with those solvents. Read the label or material safety data sheet for the material you intend to spray.

If in doubt as to whether or not a coating or cleaning material is compatible, contact you material supplier for further details.

Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle the bulk weight, and power of the tool.

This tool is not intended for using in explosive atmospheres and is not insulated for contact with electrical power sources.

Proper handling of the gun is essential for obtaining a good finish. The gun should be held at a 90° angle to the surface being covered, and moved parallel to it. For precise control of the gun and material, the trigger should be released before the end of the stroke. Hold the gun 6 to 12 inches away from the surface depending on material and atomizing pressure. For a uniform finish, lap each stroke over the preceding stroke, making sure the spray is smooth and wet. Using the lowest possible atomizing air pressure will reduce over spray and provide maximum efficiency. (See Figure 7)
