1.2 SPECIFIC SAFETY HAZARDS AND PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT INJECTION INJURY
WARNING
Serious risk of injection injury. This equipment produces a high-pressure stream that can pierce the skin and subcutaneous
tissues, resulting in severe injury and even possible amputation.
IMPORTANT
The maximum operating range of the unit is 21 bar (22.1 MPa, 3200 PSI) fluid pressure.
NEVER
• put your fingers, hands or any other parts of your body into the spray jet
• point the spray gun at yourself or anyone else (including animals)
• allow the fluid stream to come into contact with any part of your body
• allow any leak in the fluid hose to come into contact with any part of your body
• put your hand in front of the gun
NOTE: Gloves do not provide full protection against injection injury.
ALWAYS
• ensure that the gun trigger is locked, the fluid pump is shut o, and all pressure is released before servicing, cleaning the tip
guard, changing tips, or leaving the unit unattended
NOTE: Turning o the engine will not release the pressure. The PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate
positions to relieve system pressure.
• ensure that the tip guard remains in place during spraying
• remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the system
• carefully check the paint hose for leaks before each use, as even small leaks can cause injection injury
• ensure that all accessories, including but not limited to spray tips, guns, extensions and hose, are rated at or above the
maximum operating pressure range of the sprayer
IMPORTANT MEDICAL INFORMATION
Injection injury is a traumatic injury that requires immediate medical attention. Any laceration of the skin, no matter how minor
it seems, should not be treated as a simple cut. Fully inform the medical team about the coatings or solvents involved, as some
coatings are toxic when injected directly into the bloodstream. For serious injuries, a plastic surgeon or reconstructive hand
surgeon should be consulted.
1.1 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NEVER
• use the spray gun without the safety guard in place
• operate faulty units or use faulty accessories
• attempt to repair a damaged hose
• leave this equipment unattended
• move the unit when it is running
• spray outside on windy days
ALWAYS
• ensure that this unit is properly earthed
• ensure that the power cord, air hose and spray hoses are optimally routed to minimise slip, trip and fall hazards
• immediately and thoroughly clean up all material and solvent spills to prevent slip hazards
• follow the material manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling of coating materials
• unplug the cord from the outlet before cleaning, maintaining or repairing this unit
• keep the power cord plug in sight during use to prevent accidental shutdowns and startups
• wear ear protection to protect against possible hearing loss from the noise produced by this unit, which can exceed 85 dB(A)
• keep this unit out of reach of children, unqualified adults and animals
• comply with local codes regarding ventilation, fire prevention, and operation

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT EXPLOSIONS AND FIRE
WARNING
This equipment produces a high-pressure stream that can pierce the skin and subcutaneous tissues, resulting in severe injury
and even possible amputation.
NEVER
• use plastic drop cloths or enclose the spray area with plastic sheets, as plastic can cause static sparks
• smoke in the spray area
• use any materials with a flashpoint lower than 21°C (70°F)
NOTE: Flashpoint is the temperature at which a fluid can produce sucient vapours to ignite.
ALWAYS
• ensure that the spray area is well-ventilated to prevent the build-up of flammable vapours
• avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks, electrical appliances, flames, pilot lights, hot objects, and sparks from
connecting and disconnecting power cords and/or working light switches
• flush the unit into a separate metal container, at the lowest possible pump pressure and with the spray tip removed
• hold the gun firmly against the side of the container to prevent static sparks
• have a fire extinguisher nearby
• place the sprayer at a minimum of 6.1 metres (20 feet) from the surface to be sprayed, extending the hose if necessary. Since
flammable vapours are often heavier than air, the floor area must be well ventilated. The pump contains arcing parts that emit
sparks, which can ignite vapours.
• ensure that the equipment and objects in and around the spray area are properly grounded to prevent static sparks
• ensure that you are using a conductive or earthed high pressure hose
• ensure that the gun is earthed through the hose connection
• ensure that the power cord is connected to a grounded circuit
• ensure that the unit is connected to an earthed object such as a water pipe, steel beam, or other electrically earthed surface, via
the green earthing wire
• strictly follow the material and solvent manufacturer’s warnings and instructions, and read the coating material’s MSDS
(Material Safety Data Sheet) and technical information before use
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT EXPLOSIONS DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS
WARNING
Serious risk of explosions due to incompatible materials. Accidental explosions due to incompatible materials can cause serious
injury and/or extensive damage to property.
NEVER
• use materials that contain bleach or chlorine
• use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as methylene chloride and 1,1,1-trichloroethane
NOTE: These substances are not compatible with aluminium and may cause an explosion. If you are in any doubt over a material’s compatibility
with aluminium, check with your coating supplier.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT HARM FROM TOXIC VAPOURS
WARNING
Vapours from paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials can be harmful in the event of inhalation or contact with any part
of the body. Symptoms include severe nausea, fainting and poisoning.
ALWAYS
• use a respirator or mask
• wear protective eyewear
• wear protective clothing

2.1 SUITABLE COATINGS
This unit is suitable for the application of:
• dilutable lacquers and paints
• coatings containing solvents
Do not spray coatings other than those listed above without the prior approval of SELLEYS or the authorised distributor of this unit.
• 2-component coating materials
• dispersions
1.3 EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS
NEVER
• operate this unit unless you are sure that it has been properly earthed
• modify the earthing plug
ALWAYS
• ensure that the earthing plug is plugged into an outlet that has been properly installed and earthed in accordance with local
codes
• seek the advice of a qualified electrician if you need a new outlet installed to fit the earthing plug, do not fully understand these
earthing instructions, or are unsure as to whether this unit is properly earthed
WARNING
Incorrect installation of the earthing plug can result in electric shock. If you need to repair or replace the cord or plug, do not
connect the green earthing wire to either blade terminal.
IMPORTANT
The wire with insulation, which has a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes, is the earthing wire. It must be connected
to the earthing pin.
A list of the materials used in the construction of this unit is available upon request for the purpose of determining compatibility
with coating materials.
2. COATINGS
Read the following important information carefully.
Always filter and stir the coating material before application. To prevent downtime, make sure that no air bubbles are introduced,
especially when stirring the coating material with motor-driven agitators.
2.2 PREPARATION OF COATING MATERIALS
2.3 VISCOSITY
This unit is able to process highly viscous coating materials of up to around 20,000 mPa-s.
Highly viscous coating materials can be diluted according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Coatings that contain sharp-edged aggregates and additional materials cause intense wear and tear on this unit’s parts, including
its valves, high-pressure hose, spray gun and tip.
Use of abrasive coatings may shorten the working life of this unit.
2.4 COATINGS CONTAINING ABRASIVE MATERIALS
• latex paints
