gun to relieve residual pressure.
4.
Turn Prime/PR Valve to open position.
5.
Relock gun safety latch.
6B.
Submerge gun in water (if using latex)
or thinner (oil-base) to prevent paint from
drying in the gun nozzle.
Prime Pressure Relief Valve
(Prime-PR Valve)
Used to relieve pressure from gun, hose
& tip and to prime the unit when in OPEN
position. (It is in open position when there
is a wider gap between handle and body).
When in the CLOSED position, there is
only a very slight gap between handle
& body. When the relief valve is
closed
the system is pressurized.
Handle as a
loaded  rearm!

INJECTION HAZARD
SPRAYING VAPORS + STATIC SPARKING CREATE FIRE/EX PLO SION
Prevent  re and explosion by reducing static sparking & eliminating vapors by following these warn ings.
Always be sure all equipment, paint bucket and object being sprayed
are properly grounded. Always ground sprayer, gun, paint bucket,
and object being sprayed. Be sure gun is grounded through hose
con nec tion. Con nect grounding wire to a true earth ground.
NEVER spray in closed area Ventilation must be adequate to remove
vapors.
NEVER keep  ammable materials in spray area.
NEVER spray highly  ammable liquids.
Use only high pressure conductive airless hoses with static wire ap-
proved for 3000psi.
NEVER SMOKE IN SPRAYING AREAS.
ALWAYS ensure properly maintained  re extinquishing equipment is
available.
FLUSHING & CLEANING CAN CREATE STATIC SPARKING IF DONE IMPROPERLY!!!!
NEVER spray solvents under pressure through spray tip.
FOLLOW PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE and remove spray tip
for cleaning.
USE LOWEST POSSIBLE PRESSURE when  ushing and cleaning.
Fluids under high pressure from spray or leaks can penetrate the skin
and cause serious injury and the need for amputation.
NEVER
point the spray gun at anyone or any part of the body.
NEVER
put hand or  ngers over the spray tip. Do not use rag over your
NEVER put hand or  ngers over the spray tip. Do not use rag over your NEVER
 ngers. Paint will penetrate through material and into the  ngers.
NEVER
try to stop leaks with your hand or body.
NEVER try to stop leaks with your hand or body. NEVER
NEVER wipe off build up around spray tip. ALWAYS remove the tip from
the gun to clean it after following Pressure Relief Procedure!!
MEDICAL TREATMENT
If any  uid appears to penetrate your skin, get
EMERGENCY CARE AT
ONCE. DO NOT TREAT AS A SIMPLE CUT.
Tell the doctor exactly what
 uid was injected and have him read the following Note.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Injection in the skin is a trau mat ic in ju ry.
It is
important to treat the injury sur gi cal ly as soon as possible. DO NOT
DELAY treat ment to re
search tox ic i ty.
Toxicity is a concern with some
exotic coatings in ject ed directly into the blood stream. Con sul ta tion with a
plastic surgeon or re con struc tive hand surgeon may be ad vis able.
SPRAY GUN SAFETY
ALWAYS set safety lock on the gun in "LOCKED" po si tion when not in use
and before servicing or cleaning.
DO NOT remove or modify any part of gun.
Check operation of gun safety devices before each use
.
HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY CAN CAUSE EXTREMELY SERIOUS INJURY. Handle as you would a loaded  rearm.
Learn and follow the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE. Read and understand all instruction manuals, tags, warnings, user’s guides
and labels on machine before operating equipment. Order new labels if unreadable.
NEVER spray in vicinity of open  ame or other source of ignitions such
as water heaters and furnaces.
ALWAYS locate the sprayer and electrical outlets in use at least 25
feet away from spray area in well ventilated area. Do not plug in any
electrical cores in spray area.
Follow the coating and solvent manufacturer’s safety precautions and
warnings.
HALOGENATED HYDRO CARBON WARNING: NEVER use
halogenated hydrocarbon (HHC) solvents or paints that contain them
in this system. Some of the most common of these solvents are: Car-
bontetrachloride, Chlorobenzene, Dichloroethane, Dichloroethyl Ether,
Ethylbromide, Ethylchloride, Tetrachloethane.
Consult your supplier to be sure.
Hold gun  rmly against a metal waste container to reduce spark pos si bil i ty.
NEVER use cleaning solvents with  ash points below 140 degrees F.
Some of these are: acetone, benzene, either, gasoline, naptha. Consult your
supplier to be sure.
AIRLESSCO SL&LP SAFETY GUIDE
SPRAY TIP SAFETY
Use extreme caution when cleaning or chang ing spray tips. If the spray tip clogs
while spray ing, engage the gun safety latch and ALWAYS follow the
PRES
SURE
RELIEF PRO CE DURE
before removing the spray tip to clean it.
NEVER wipe off build up around the spray tip.
TIP GUARD
NEVER operate gun without tip guard attached
.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
ALWAYS ensure switch is in “OFF” position before plug ging unit in.
ALWAYS ensure unit is in prime position and spray gun locked before starting
unit.
NEVER alter equip ment in any manner.
NEVER spray highly  ammable materials.
NEVER use around children or let children use sprayer.
NEVER allow another person to use sprayer.
ALWAYS wear a face mask while spraying.
NEVER leave sprayer unattended with pressure in system.
HOSES
NEVER use weak or damaged nonconductive paint hose. Do not allow
kinking, crushing, or allow it to vibrate against rough, sharp or hot surfaces.
Check hoses for damage or wear before each use.
REPLACE DAMAGED HOSE - DO NOT mend with tape or any other device.
USE ONLY conductive or grounded  uid hoses for airless ap pli ca tions.
TIGHTEN all  uid con nec tions before each use.
