Safety precautions 
1. Safety regulations for Airless spraying
1.1 Explanation of symbols used
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.
tention
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.
Danger of skin injection
Danger of fire from solvent and paint fumes
Danger of explosion from solvent, paint fumes 
and incompatible materials
Danger of injury from inhalation of harmful 
vapors
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 a spraying injury as a harmless cut. In 
case of injury to the skin through coating materials 
or solvents, consult a doctor immediately for quick 
and expert treatment. Inform the doctor about the 
coating material or solvent used.
PREVENTION:
 • NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body. 
 • NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the uid stream. 
DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the uid 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 uid pump o and 
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip guard, 
changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be 
released by turning o the engine. The PRIME/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.
 • ALWAYS remove the spray tip before ushing or cleaning the 
system.
 • NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and 
trigger guard in place.
 • All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum 
operating pressure range of the sprayer. This includes spray 
tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
HAZARD
: 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 20 cm.
 • Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against 
sharp objects and edges.
 • Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately.
 • Never repair defective 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 1M.
 • 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.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Flammable vapors, such as solvent and paint vapors, 
in work area can ignite or explode. 
PREVENTION:
 • Use equipment only in well ventilated area. Keep a good 
supply of fresh air moving through the area to keep the air 
within the spray area free from accumulation of ammable 
vapors. Keep pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do not 
spray pump assembly.
 • Electric models only - Do not use materials with a ashpoint 
below 38º C (100º F). Flashpoint is the temperature at which a 
uid can produce enough vapors to ignite.
 • Gas models only - Do not ll fuel tank while engine is running 
or hot; shut o engine and allow to cool. Fuel is ammable 
and can ignite or explode if spilled on a hot surface.
 • Eliminate all ignition sources, such as pilot lights, cigarettes, 
portable electric lamps and plastic drop cloths (potential static 
arc). 
 • Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and 
gasoline.
 • Do not plug or unplug power cords, or turn power or light 
switches on or o when ammable vapors are present.
 • Ground equipment and conductive objects in work area. 
Make sure the grounding cable (not equipped) is connected 
from the grounding lug to a true earth ground. 
 • Use only grounded hoses.
 • Hold spray gun rmly to the side of a grounded pail when 
triggering into pail. 
 • If there is static sparking or if you feel a shock, stop operation 
immediately.
