To prevent injury follow these instructions.
SDo not operate or service equipment unless you are qualified.
SDo not operate equipment unless safety guards, doors, or covers are
intact and automatic interlocks are operating properly. Do not bypass
or disarm any safety devices.
SKeep clear of moving equipment. Before adjusting or servicing
moving equipment, shut off the power supply and wait until the
equipment comes to a complete stop. Lock out power and secure the
equipment to prevent unexpected movement.
SRelieve (bleed off) hydraulic and pneumatic pressure before adjusting
or servicing pressurized systems or components. Disconnect, lock
out, and tag switches before servicing electrical equipment.
SWhile operating manual spray guns, make sure you are grounded.
Wear electrically conductive gloves or a grounding strap connected to
the gun handle or other true earth ground. Do not wear or carry
metallic objects such as jewelry or tools.
SIf you receive even a slight electrical shock, shut down all electrical or
electrostatic equipment immediately. Do not restart the equipment
until the problem has been identified and corrected.
SObtain and read Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all materials
used. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safe handling and
use of materials, and use recommended personal protection devices.
SMake sure the spray area is adequately ventilated.
STo prevent injury, be aware of less-obvious dangers in the workplace
that often cannot be completely eliminated, such as hot surfaces,
sharp edges, energized electrical circuits, and moving parts that
cannot be enclosed or otherwise guarded for practical reasons.
