GENERAL SAFETY RULES

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint
fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To
help prevent fire and explosion:
• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.
• Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot
lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps, and
plastic drop cloths (potential static arc).
• Keep work area free of debris, including sol-
vent, rags and gasoline.
• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn
lights on or off when flammable fumes are
present.
• Ground equipment and conductive objects in
work area.
• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock,
stop operation immediately. Do not use equip-
ment until you identify and correct the prob-
lem.
EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
Misuse can cause death or serious injury.
• Do not exceed the maximum working pres-
sure or temperature rating of the lowest rated
system component.
• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible
with equipment wetted parts. Read fluid and
solvent manufacturer's warnings.
• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace
worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Do not alter or modify equipment.
• Use equipment only for its intended purpose.
• Route hoses and cables away from traffic
areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot sur-
faces.
• Do not use hoses to pull equipment.
• Keep children and animals away from work
area.
•Comply with all applicable safety regulations.
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD

• Clothing and respirator as recommended by
the fluid and solvent manufacturer
• Gloves
• Hearing protection
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or
ruptured components can splash in the eyes or
on skin and cause serious injury.
•Follow Pressure Relief Procedure in this man-
ual, when you stop spraying and before clean-
ing, checking, or servicing equipment.
• Tighten all fluid connections before operat-
ing the equipment.
• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Re-
place worn or damaged parts immediately.
TOOL USE AND CARE
SETUP
1. Install an air pressure regulator on gun air
supply line to control air pressure.
2. Install a shutoff valve downstream of the air
regulator to shut off gun air.
3. Connect a clean, dry, filtered air supply.
4. Connect air supply line to gun air inlet. Con-
nect other end to shutoff valve.
FLUSH SPRAY GUN
Flush spray gun before using it. Use solvent
that is compatible with gun wetted parts and
fluid that will be sprayed. Use lowest possible
pressure, and spray into grounded metal waste
container. After flushing, follow Pressure Re-
lief Procedure.
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
1. Turn off gun air supply.
2. Trigger gun into grounded metal waste con-
tainer.
WARNING: Follow pressure relief proce-
dure when you stop spraying and before clean-
ing, checking, or servicing equipment.
