WARNING
HAZARD
Toxic Substances: Some materials may be harmful if inhaled or come in contact with the skin.
Explosion hazard incompatible materials. May cause
property damage or severe injury.
PREVENTION
• Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data
Sheet supplied by the coatings manufacturer.
• Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided
within the spray area to keep the air free of accumulations of toxic materials.
• Wear a mask or respirator. Read all instructions for the
mask to insure that it will provide the necessary protection against the inhalation of harmful vapors.
• Some spray pumps prohibit the use of halogenated
hydrocarbon solvents.
• Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as methylene
chloride and 1,1,1 - Trichlorethane are not compatible
with aluminum and may cause an explosion. If you are
not sure of a material’s compatibility with aluminum,
contact your coatings supplier. Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents are compatible with the GM2000 spray gun
and may be used if the solvents are compatible with the
pump and other accessories.
Injection. A high pressure stream of paint can pierce the
skin and underling tissues, leading to serious injury and
possible amputation.
• Maximum operating range of the gun - 3625 PSI fluid
pressure.
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body under any
circumstances.
• NEVER let any part of the body come in contact with the
fluid stream. DO NOT come in contact with a fluid stream
created by a leak in the fluid hose.
• Paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking, abuse
etc. A leak is capable of injecting material into the skin.
Paint hose should be inspected before each use. Replace a damaged hose.
• NEVER put hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger when cleaning, changing
tips or leaving unattended.
• ALWAYS shut fluid pump off and release all pressure
before servicing, cleaning, or changing tips.

DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT! It can lead
to amputation. See a physician immediately.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Injection into the skin
is a traumatic injury. It is important to treat
the injury surgically 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.
