Safety Precautions

This manual contains information that must be read and understood before using the equipment. When you come to an area that has one of the following symbols, pay particular attention and make certain to heed the safeguard.

This symbol indicates a potential hazard which may cause serious injury or loss of life. Important safety information will follow.

CAUTION

This symbol indicates a potential hazard to you or to the equipment. Important information that tells how to prevent damage to the equipment or how to avoid causes of minor injuries will follow.

NOTE: Notes give important information which should

be given special attention.

HAZARD: Injection injury - A high pressure fluid stream

produced by this equipment can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation. See a physician immediately.

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 gun is 5000 PSI/350BAR 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 hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide protection against an injection injury.

•ALWAYS lock gun trigger, shut pump off, and release all pressure before servicing, cleaning tip or guard, changing tip, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be released by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve handle must be turned to PRIME to relieve the pressure. Refer to the PRESSURE RELIEF PRESSURE described in pump 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.

• 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 5000 PSI/350 BAR. 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.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION AND FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes

can explode or ignite. Severe injury and/or property damage can occur.

PREVENTION:

• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of flammable vapors.

•Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks, electrical appliances, flames, pilot lights, hot objects, and sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or working light switches.

•Do not smoke in spray area.

• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working order.

• Place pump at least 20 feet (6 m) from the spray object in a well ventilated area (add more hose if necessary). Flammable vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area must be extremely well ventilated. The pump contains arcing parts that emit sparks and can ignite vapors.

• The equipment and objects in and around the spray area must be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.

• Use only conductive or grounded high-pressure fluid hose. Gun must be grounded through hose connections.

• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.

• Always flush unit into separate metal container, at low pump pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly against side of container to ground container and prevent static sparks.

• Follow material and solvent manufacturer's warnings and instructions.

• Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint below 70° F (21° C). Flashpoint is the temperature at which a fluid can produce enough vapors to ignite.

• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when spraying flammable materials.

• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.

GAS ENGINE (WHERE APPLICABLE)

Always place pump outside of structure in fresh air. Keep all solvents away from engine exhaust. Never fill fuel tank with a running or hot engine. Hot surface can ignite spilled fuel. Always attach ground wire from pump to a grounded object. Refer to engine owner’s manual for complete safety information.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE

MATERIALS - Will cause severe injury or property damage. Some pumps and accessories contain aluminum and cannot be used with halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. Follow the prevention section if your pump or accessories are not compatible with halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. The SGX-20 Airless Spray Gun is compatible with halogenated hydrocarbon solvents.

PREVENTION:

• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.

• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as bleach, mildewcide, methylene chloride and 1,1,1 trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum.

• Contact your coating supplier about the compatibility of material with aluminum.

Identifying Tip Sizes

To identify tip sizes, use the following formula. A “517” tip size will be used in this example.

The first digit multiplied by two represents the size of the spray pattern when spraying 12” away from the work surface:

5 x 2 = 10” spray pattern

The second two digits represent the diameter of the orifice on the tip:

17 = .017” orifice

NOTE: Worn spray tips will adversely affect the spray

pattern and result in reduced production, poor finish, and wasted material. Replace worn tips immediately.
