SAFETY WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All children should be kept away from the work area. Don't let
them handle tool.
3. DO NOT OPERATE THE TOUCH-UP GUN IF UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL
OR DRUGS. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or
reexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not attempt to operate.
4. DO NOT SPRAY NEAR OPEN FLAMES, PILOT LIGHTS IN STOVES OR HEATERS,
OR ANY OTHER HEAT SOURCE. Most solvents and coatings are highly ammable,
particularly when sprayed. Always make sure there is adequate ventilation. Extinguish
all cigarettes when painting or cleaning. Industrial applications must follow OSHA
requirements.
5. READ ALL INFORMATION CONCERNING COATING PRODUCTS AND CLEANING
SOLVENTS. Chlorinated solvents, e.g. 1-1-1 Trichloroethane and Methylene Chloride
(also known as methyl chloride) can chemically react with aluminum and may explode.
Many paint sprayers contain aluminum. If you are in any doubt what-so-ever, contact
the solvent or coating manufacturer.
6. MATERIALS USED WHEN PAINTING AND CLEANING MAY BE HARMFUL OR FATAL
IF INHALED AND/OR SWALLOWED. Once again, when spraying, always make sure
there is adequate ventilation. Use a mask or respirator when painting.
7. CHECK ALL SEALS BEFORE CONNECTING TO AIR SUPPLY. Make sure lid is fully
attached to cup, retaining ring is screwed past the rst thread, air pressure plug is
tightened fully, and air supply tube is rmly attached. Never release the lid while the cup
is pressurized.
8. USE EYE PROTECTION. Coatings will cause eye irritation. Wear ANSI approved
chemical splash safety goggles. Goggles are available from Harbor Freight Tools.
When cleaning, be especially careful as solvents can be forcibly ejected from uid and
air passages.
