1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read the operating manual carefully and observe the
safety instructions. Keep the operating manual in a safe place.
Be safety-conscious! All local and national regula-
tions governing ventilation, re prevention, and
operation must be observed.
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. See a physician imme-
diately.
DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT!
Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician immedi-
ately. Inform the physician of the type of coating material
or cleaning agent with which the injury was caused.
• 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 hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
• NEVER point the spray gun at people or animals.
• NEVER spray onto the spray device.
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump o, and
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip or
guard, changing tip, or leaving unattended. Pressure
will not be released by turning o the motor. The
PRIME/SPRAY valve must be turned to PRIME to relieve
the pressure. Refer to the Pressure Relief Procedure
described in the pump manual.
• ALWAYS keep the 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.
• 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.
• NEVER use a spray gun without a trigger lock and trigger
guard in place and in good working order.
• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum
operating pressure range of the sprayer. This includes
spray tips, extensions, and hose.
HAZARD: Explosion hazard due to incompatible
materials.Will cause severe injury or property da-
mage.
• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such
as bleach, mildewcide, methylene chloride and
1,1,1 - trichloroethane. They are not compatible with
aluminum.
• Contact your coating material supplier about the
compatibility of material with aluminum.
HAZARD: General
This product can cause severe injury or property
damage.
1. Read all instructions and safety precautions before
operating equipment.
2. Never spray near sources of ignition; e.g. open ames,
cigarettes — also cigars and pipes are sources of
ignition —, sparks, hot wires and hot surfaces, etc.
3. Wear respiratory equipment when spraying. The
operator must be provided with a protective mask. In
order to prevent work related illness, the manufacturer’s
regulations for the materials, solvents, and cleaning
agents used must be observed when preparing, working
with and cleaning the unit. Protective clothing, gloves,
eyewear, and, in certain cases, protective skin cream
are necessary to protect the skin. When working with
coating materials at a temperature of over 43°C, always
wear appropriate protective gloves.
4. Follow the coating material and solvent manufacturer’s
warnings and instructions.
5. Extraction equipment should be installed by the user in
accordance with local regulations.
6. The objects being sprayed must be earthed.
7. Make sure that the oor of the work area is conductive
and that the user wears conductive shoes.
8. An 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 1 MΩ.
9. 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 grounded high-pressure hose.
10. Pulling the trigger causes a recoil force to the hand that
is holding the spray gun. The recoil force of the spray gun
is particularly powerful when the tip has been removed
and a high pressure has been set on the high pressure
pump. If you are not prepared, your hand may be
pushed back or you could lose your balance. Therefore,
when cleaning without tip set the pressure control valve
to the lowest pressure.
11. Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes
all risks and liabilities when using parts that do not
meet the minimum specications and safety devices of
the spray gun manufacturer.
