SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum. Contact
the coating supplier about compatibility of material with aluminum.
•
Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air
moving through the area to keep the air within the spray area free
from accumulation of flammable vapors. Keep pump assembly in
well ventilated area. Do not spray pump assembly.
•
Do not smoke in the spray area.
•
Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing
products in the spray area.
•
Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and
other flammable materials.
•
Know the contents of the paint and solvents being sprayed. Read
all material Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and container labels provided
with the paints and solvents.
manufacture's safety instructions.
•
Place pump at least 20 feet (6.1 meters) 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.
•
Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to enclose spray area.
Do not use plastic drop cloths when spraying flammable material.
•
Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
WARNING: HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
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.
PREVENTION:
•
Avoid sharp bending or kinking of the high-pressure hose. The
smallest bending radius amounts to about 8" (20 cm).
•
Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against sharp
objects and edges.
•
Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately.
•
Never attempt to repair damaged high-pressure hoses yourself!
•
Electrostatic charging of spray guns and the high-pressure hose
is discharged through the high-pressure hose. For this reason the
electric resistance between the connections of the high-pressure
hose must be equal to or lower than 1MΩ.
•
For reasons of function, safety and durability use only original Titan
high-pressure hoses.
•
Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or
bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of couplings.
Immediately replace the hose if any of these conditions exist.
Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with another earthed high-
pressure hose.
•
Make sure power cord, air hose and spray hoses are routed in such
a manner to minimize slip, trip and fall hazard.

WARNING: HAZARDOUS VAPORS
Paints, solvents, and other materials can be harmful
if inhaled or come in contact with body. Vapors can
cause severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:
•
Wear respiratory protection when spraying. Read all instructions
supplied with the mask to be sure it will provide the necessary
protection.
•
All local regulations regarding protection against hazardous vapors
must be observed.
•
Wear protective eyewear.
•
Protective clothing, gloves and possibly skin protection cream are
necessary for the protection of the skin. Observe the regulations
of the manufacturer concerning coating materials, solvents and
cleaning agents in preparation, processing and cleaning units.
WARNING: GENERAL
This product can cause severe injury or property
damage.
PREVENTION:
•
Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, clothing and a
respirator or mask when painting.
•
Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from
equipment at all times.
•
Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep effective
footing and balance at all times.
•
Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
•
Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of
drugs or alcohol.
•
Do not kink or over-bend the hose. Airless hose can develop leaks
from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak can inject material into the
skin.
•
Do not expose the hose to temperatures or pressures in excess of
those specified by manufacturer.
•
Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the
equipment.
•
Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
•
Follow all appropriate local, state and national codes governing
ventilation, fire prevention and operation.
•
The United States Government Safety Standards have been
adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
These standards, particularly part 1910 of the General Standards
and part 1926 of the Construction Standards should be consulted.
•
Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or
bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of couplings.
Immediately replace hose if any of those conditions exist. Never
repair a paint hose. Replace with a conductive high-pressure hose.
•
Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
•
Always unplug cord from outlet before working on equipment
(electric models only).
