    Long term exposure to many chlorinated hydrocarbons through inhalation can result in liver and kidney toxicity. Exposure of unprotected skin to the solvents used can cause defatting of the skin resulting in dermatitis. Methylene chloride and vinyl chloride have also been shown to be human carcinogens. Some of these solvents are flammable. Welding operations near the these materials can create phosgene, a highly toxic gas.

12. Many spray guns contain aluminum, which reacts strongly to chlorinated solvents. Contact the solvent or coating manufacturer as needed regarding potential chemical reactions.

13. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

14. Spraying hazardous materials may result in serious injury or death.
    Do not spray pesticide, acid, corrosive material, fertilizer, or toxic chemicals.

15. Paints and solvents may be harmful or fatal if swallowed or inhaled.
    Avoid prolonged skin contact with solvents or paints as they will irritate skin. After any contact, immediately wash off exposed area with hot, soapy water.

16. Keep paint hose away from sharp objects.
    Bursting hoses may cause injury. Examine hoses regularly and replace if damaged.

17. When flushing Paint Sprayer system, use lowest possible pressure setting.

18. All hoses and spray gun accessories used with Paint Sprayer must be pressure rated at or above 3000 PSI.

GROUNDING

Warning

• TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION:
• Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
• Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool.
• Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Grounded Tools: Tools with Three Prong Plugs

3-Prong Plug and Outlet

Electrical Power Requirements

• 110 – 120 Volts 60 Hertz 15 amp outlet, required.
• Ensure that the power supply is operating normally.

1. Sprayers marked with “Grounding Required” plug. The plug must be connected to properly malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the sprayer. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the sprayer’s grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically “live” terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3. The sprayer must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed, and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those in the preceding illustration. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

Extension Cords

1. Grounded sprayers require a three-wire extension cord. Double Insulated sprayers can use either a two or three-wire extension cord.
2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible sprayer damage. (See Table A.)
3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.)
4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)
5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one sprayer, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Table A.)
6. If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
7. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
8. Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.
