Safety Regulations
1. Safety regulations for Airless
spraying
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 that may cause
serious injury or loss of life. Important safety information will
follow.
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.
Attention
A hazard symbol such as this one refers to a specific,
task-related risk. Be sure to heed the safeguard.
i
Notes give important information which should be given
special attention.
HAZARD: INjECTION INjuRy
A high pressure stream produced by this equipment can
pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious
injury and possible amputation.
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 unit is 214 bar (21.4
MPa, 3100 PSI) 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 your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the fluid pump off
and release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip
guard, changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure
will not be released by turning off the engine. The PRIME/
0 bar
SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must be turned to
their appropriate positions to relieve system pressure.
• ALWAYS keep tip guard in place while spraying. The tip
guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning
device.
• NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and
trigger guard in place.
• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning
the system.
• The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and
abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect the
hose before each use.
• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum
operating pressure range of the sprayer. 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 OR 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.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying flammable materials.
• 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.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working
order.
• Place sprayer at least 6.1 m (20 feet) 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.
PE
• Use only conductive or earthed high pressure fluid hose.
Gun must be earthed through hose connections.
• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit
(electric units only).
• The unit must be connected to an earthed object. Use the
green earthing wire to connect the unit to a water pipe,
steel beam, or other electrically earthed surface.
• Follow material and solvent manufacturer's warnings and
instructions. Be familiar with the coating material's MSDS
sheet and technical information to ensure safe use.
• Do not use materials with a flashpoint below 38° C (100°
F). Flashpoint is the temperature at which a fluid can
produce enough vapors to ignite.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
