and incompatible materials
Danger of injury from inhalation of harmful
vapors
i
Notes give important information which should
be given special attention.
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.
Do not treat a spraying injury as a harmless cut. In
case of injury to the skin through coating materials
or solvents, consult a doctor immediately for quick
and expert treatment. Inform the doctor about the
coating material or solvent used.
PREVENTION:
• NEVERaimthegunatanypartofthebody.
• NEVERallowanypartofthebodytotouchthefluidstream.
DONOTallowbodytotouchaleakinthefluidhose.
• NEVERputyourhandinfrontofthegun.Gloveswillnot
provide protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYSlocktheguntrigger,shutthefluidpumpoffand
release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip guard,
changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be
releasedbyturningofftheengine.ThePRIME/SPRAYvalve
or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate
positions to relieve system pressure.
• ALWAYSkeeptipguardinplacewhilespraying.Thetipguard
provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.

HAZARD: HIGH PRESSURE HOSE
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.
PREVENTION:

Only use WAGNER original-high-pressure hoses in
order to ensure functionality, safety and durability.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.
Severe injury and/or property damage can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Donotusematerialswithaflashpointbelow21°C(70°F).
Flashpoint is the temperature at which a fluid can produce
enough vapors to ignite.
• Donotusetheunitinworkplaceswhicharecoveredbythe

• Provideextensiveexhaustandfreshairintroductionto
keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of
flammable vapors.
• Avoidallignitionsourcessuchasstaticelectricitysparks,
