NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury which can lead to possible
amputation. It is important to treat the injury as soon as possible. DO
NOT delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some
coatings injected directly into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic
surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.

Setup
Never attempt to assemble, change, or clean the gun, tip,
or tip guard without first relieving pressure from the spray
system. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” in the
sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.
Always use a tip safety guard for added protection against
injection. Beware that the guard alone will not prevent
injection. Never cut off tip guard! Always engage gun trigger
lock when the gun is not in use. Before servicing equipment,
consult Owner’s Manuals and follow all warnings.
Pressure Relief Procedure

Assembling the Gun and Tip Assembly
IMPORTANT: Before attaching a gun to a grounded high pressure airless
hose, make sure that the airless spray unit is turned off and that fluid
pressure has been relieved from the system.
Assembling the Gun

thegunaftereachuseandstoreinadrylocation.Donotleavethegunorany
of its parts in water or solvents.
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable solvents:
 • Alwaysushspraygunpreferablyoutsideandatleastonehose
length from spray pump.
 • Ifcollectingushedsolventsinaonegallonmetalcontainer,

 • Areamustbefreeofammablevapors.
 • Followallcleanupinstructions.
IMPORTANT: The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned thoroughly
after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to cake, seriously
affecting the performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum pressure with
the tip and tip guard removed when
using mineral spirits or any other solvent
to clean the sprayer, hose, or gun. Static
electricity buildup may result in a fire or
explosion in the presence of flammable
vapors. Hold the gun firmly against a
metal container while flushing.
Always remove the tip/tip guard, adjust the pressure to
its lowest setting, and hold the gun firmly against a metal
container while flushing.
