Use and Care Manual

23. Paint Sprayer’s housing may become hot during use.
Do not touch housing until it has completely cooled.
24. Remove Spray Tip or turn to cleaning position
BEFORE cleaning or flushing Paint Sprayer system.
25. Do not use pliers to tighten or loosen
high pressure connections.
26. Sparks from improper grounding
can ignite fumes!
Follow all local regulations regarding the
use of fluid supply containers and solvent
pails used with flushing the Paint Sprayer.
Use only conductive metal pails placed on a grounded
(concrete) surface. Do not place pails on
nonconductive surfaces (such as cardboard or paper).
Ground all metal pails by clamping one end of a ground
wire to the pail and the other end to a
grounded structure (such as a nearby pipe).
Maintain grounding, even when flushing or relieving
pressure from Paint Sprayer into metal pail.
The force of the spray can knock a metal pail over,
so hold down the metal pail and keep the metal part of
the spray gun set against the grounded metal pail when
pressing the spray gun trigger.
27. Maintain labels and nameplates on the sprayer.
These carry important safety information.
28. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work
before turning on the sprayer.
29. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
30. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
31. WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities, contains chemicals known
[to the State of California] to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or
other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
