WARNING FIRE, EXPLOSION, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD Improper grounding, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in a fire, explosion, or electric shock. Electrostatic equipment must be used only by trained, qualified personnel who understand the requirements stated in this instruction manual. Ground the equipment, personnel in or close to the spray area, the object being sprayed, and all other electrically conductive objects in the spray area. S

WARNING PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can splash fluid in the eyes or on the skin and cause a serious injury. Do not point the spray gun at anyone or any part of the body. Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 11 whenever you: are instructed to relieve the pressure; stop spraying; clean, check, or servicing the equipment; and install or clean the fluid nozzle
